2nd Cancer after Treatment for MDS
Has anyone been diagnosed with a second type of cancer or had a previous cancer return after treatment for MDS?
The reason I am asking is when I was considering the stem cell transplant for my MDS I was warned that there was a remote chance that the conditioning (myeloablative) could cause a second cancer or cause a previous cancer to return. I should have paid more attention. I was treated for prostate cancer in 2013 with high dose rate brachytherapy. My SCT was in April of 2016. My prostate cancer has returned and is metastatic.
Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.
Thanks
