Secondary MDS - Second Opiion

Hi,
I would definitely get a second & even a 3rd opinion until you find a doctor that you & your dad feel confident & comfortable with. They need to get the right kind of tests done & sit you guys down & explain exactly what the results show & the course of treatment they would recommend. Please don't stop with one doctor's opinion. I would go to an MDS center of excellence & see a doctor who has seen several MDS patients. Go online & have the MDS & Leukemia & Lymphoma Foundation send you some lnformation so you know what kind of questions to ask the doctors. I will send you some links later. Good Luck.

Sincerely,
Sandy & Pete Peterson
