Caroline,
Hello. I am 49, was 47 at diagnosis. I have 5q- and am stable on Aranesp. Hemoglobin sitting around 10, though at times it bounces up to 10.5ish. My disease feels more like a chronic disease that I can expect to have for some time, while struggling with medical bills and fatigue. Your struggles may be different with the high blast count (My blasts are only 4%), but I am here if you want to talk.
Zoe
