Although my husband will always disagree with me, I believe his MDS was caused by his yearly use of a well known weed killer that contains Benzene.
He was in the insurance business for over 30 years so there was no exposure to chemicals there. He was not in the military and had no prior chemo treatments. His CBC was normal in March, 2008 and by Nov. all 3 lines were heading south. A couple of years after his diagnosis, there was a report in the news that named this weed killer as a potential cause of MDS. But I don't think we will ever know for sure.
I wish everyone well on the forums.
God Bless,
Sally
