Secondary MDS
My husband Pete, was diagnosed with NHL in 7/98. Pete found a marble size lump on one of his testicles when he was showering. He was lucky he found it early, & had surgery to get it removed then he had 6 months of CHOP chemo. He has been in remissin ever since. Thank God!
You are correct about the FAB & WHO MDS subtypes. It is for Di Novo patients & not for secondary MDS. That's why they consider secondary high risk. They know it was caused from chemo, radiation or benzene because of the abnormal chromosome damage. I'm sure the new Dr. will do another BMB & a chromosome analysis.
Pete is still doing very good. He just had a CBC & his counts were very good. He is still doing the watch & wait.
I hope your dad likes the new Dr. & can get more definite answers. Please keep me updated. Best of luck to you, your dad, & your family. I will keep all of you in my thoughts & prayers.
Sincerely,
Sandy Peterson
