Life expectancy charts

Hi jmajjb,
As Chirley wrote the common life expectancy charts are from 1997. Now we get much better treatment. My life expectancy was 3.5 - 5 years with RCML Interm-1 but after 8 years my test results are better than ever. Latest HGB 14.3.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
75 yo, dx MDS Interm-1 2006 with very serious fibrosis of the bone marrow. Transfusion dependent at dx with a HGB of 7.0. Supportive therapy until 2010. Since then treated with Thalidomide during 3 years and Revlimid since July 2013 with positive results.
