MDS to Acute Leukemia and now back to MDS

I had MDS that went straight into Acute Leukemia. They told me that I had 6 to 8 weeks to live. One week after my Chemo the bone marrow biopsy looked bad, Chemo did nothing. They did another BMB 2 weeks later and it looked even worse. Strange thing is I was not feeling bad at all. I was up and around, laughing, smiling, and the doctors in Richmond could not understand why I was not feeling bad! So they took a 3rd BMB and I was Cancer Free. I am now back into MDS again getting ready to start using Vidaza. Then to Stem Cell Transplant. Never give up hope no matter how miserable things seem!! I was preparing for my death and a week later I had no more bad cells in me. Has this happened to anybody?? I am 47, female and live in the northern Virginia area. If you are a MDS person I would love talking with you. I could use some friends and support !! Caroline Call me after 8:00 pm at 703-606-3176 or 703-754-4790. Thanks and God Bless
