Brand new!
Morning! I was just diagnosed yesterday with this (hard to say) disease. My head is still spinning. I don't fit the normal demographic apparently, of older 65+ Caucasian men. I'm 48 divorced black Mother of a son in college. I've been battling anemia practically all my life, I've had several transfusions and iron infusions. Nothing seem to keep work in keeping my Rbc @ acceptable and normal range. My WBC is now @ 3.1, and my bmb came back abnormal. Additional testing brought the final prognosis of MDS. I am optimistic, relatively healthy with no prior cancer or treatments at all. Uncertain how & why I was chosen but here I am, and I'm ready to fight with the rest of you!
