This was a very time-ly article (pun intended) for me. I just happened to notice a double helix on the cover of Time this week while waiting to see one of my Doctors. I must admit I was surprised to see the reference to MDS in the article and the reference to the PBS show NOVA as well.

I don't know if the NOVA broadcast has aired yet or not. This field of Epigenome study is very exciting and has a major impact on thos of us with MDS and similar blood/marrow based cancers.

More public exposure to our disease can only help in our efforts to raise the awareness of our Legislators and hopefully engender more funding for researching drugs such as Vidaza and Dacogen.
