In June 2009 I was absolutely devastated, 61 years old and never been sick or in a hospital (except for an easy delivery with my daughter)! But, once I studied the disease, talked with others with MDS, nurses, friends of friends, etc. I learned you can live a normal life; for me, with the help of drug therapy, Dacogen, 1 week on, 3 weeks off. May even be able to stretch out the time off at some point!
