I'm 65 years old and I was diagnosed over year ago with MDS. I have the IV Dacogen drip once a month. I felt sorry for myself for the first few months. I guess I was in shock. I wasn't sure how long I had to live. I was scared also of this disease I had little knowledge of. As it turns out I'm doing quite well. No bad reactions from the dacogen. (Other than getting very tired) I am going back to the gym to try to get back in shape.
Go ahead and cry. Get it out of your system then move forward with what life has in store for you. I have been there also. Best of luck to you newly diagnosed.
Keep your chin up and enjoy the time you have with the people who mean something to you.
