MDS

Hi Carole!
If you look at MDS classification at Marrowforums Home page you can see that we have Interm-2 if our IPSS score is 1.5 or 2.0.

Your blast cells are only 2% so you get 0 points for blast cells. To get a total score of 1.5 you must have poor cytogenics (chromosome aberrations) and get 1.0 points for cytogenics. Then you told us that all three cell lines show dysplasia but what they actually ask about is if at least two of the three cell lines show low counts (HGB less than 10.0, WBC less than 1.8 and platelets less than 100).

Like Cheryl I hope that you will have a positive response soon and no adverse reactions when you get Vidaza, so you can get a SCT and be cured.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
