I'm sorry for the diagnosis. It feels like a kick in the stomach only worse. It is important to learn everything you can about the diagnosis. That will more accurately determine the prognosis. Some people do live for years with MDS, some only months. There are many different kinds of MDS. It just depends on his numbers. You will find that numbers take on a whole new significance for the family.
