New to MDS
Hi,
I turned 62 in January, had my yearly physical, the primary physician said I had problems with low Red Blood count, ran another test and referred me to a blood doctor. I had no idea what Hematologists do, I thought I was getting a B-12 shot.
The Hematologist said my red blood was 4.44 low MCV high at 105.4, my MCH high at 34.9, RDW High at 15.2 and PLT low at 125. He said he thought it might be MDS, to wait 2 months and if my counts don't change he will begin aggressive treatment starting with a bone marrow biopsy.
I'm still thinking I needed a B-12 shot. My only symptons was feeling tired and lathargic but felt it was part of being 62. My head, like everyone who is told they have MDS is "spinning"
