I'm confused. Not hard to achieve but still....
My neurologist rang me this afternoon and told me that they don't know what the deletions on long arm 15 mean. This is different to what the Prof told me but I agree with my neurologist that I don't fit the Prader Willi profile so the deletion is likely to be more distal. So I Googled.....big mistake....
Del 15q interstitial deletions have been associated with poor prognosis MDS and post MDS AML.
So now what do I think? The Prof is going away for 3 months, the neuro is clueless about MDS and I REALLY didn't want to go back to the hematologist just yet because I was declining further treatment.
Denial and procrastination sounds good.
Regards
