My husband will turn 74 on Nov 10. He was diagnosed with MDS on 6/30/09.
Next came COPD to move in with his heart problems. The ride has been rough at times but we have learned to enjoy the ups and climb out of the downs. He has had 16 rounds of Vidaza and it has been working. The oncologist said this week that she wants to put off his next chemo for a week. She thinks that it may be what is causing him to have so much trouble with his congestive heart and his lung problems. We do what we can, when we can but dragging an oxygen bottle around slows us down. He is having lots of trouble walking because of his heart. The cardiologist is working on this problem. Our social life is with the medical profession lol.
Keep your spirits up. Laugh when you want to cry but don't give up.
God bless.
