Have you been following your blood count numbers? Low counts are usually the first sign of trouble, leading to the diagnosis, and the hope is that counts will rise after a certain number of Vidaza cycles.

Was the meeting you attended the Oakland Leukemia & Lymphoma Society chapter? Sometimes MDS patients show up at LLS meetings, but mostly they are leukemia and lymphoma patients. Some issues are common to everyone, but I know it's not the same as talking to another MDS patient.

If you can make it around the bay, there are 10 meetings a year of the San Francisco Bay Area MDS Support Group in Palo Alto.
Thank you, Neil. No, the group I went to was at the Cancer Support Community in Walnut Creek, close to where I live.
Am I using this forum correctly, by the way? This reply to your post, by the way???
