Rachlm927,

It's so hard to hear stories like yours and your mother's, but I'm glad you told us what happened because you deserve to be heard and to be angry about the hand that fate dealt your family. And perhaps we all we need the sobering reminder about what a serious disease MDS is, and even more so in combination with other health problems.

MDS isn't fair and it leaves so many families with regrets about health failures that they couldn't see coming. In so many cases, the doctors have no foolproof way of predicting when treatments will or won't be tolerated and how much time any of us have left.

You lost your mother at too young an age. I'm glad hospice was a positive experience, as we hear time and time again. If only you could have had more than a few days of that final care, when you could simply be together.
