Watch and wait

Hi Catherine,
You are lucky to have so good counts! Patients with RA can have good counts though many of then need Aranesp or a similar drug. They can almast live as long as persons without MDS.

I have MDS Interm-1 too but had very severe bone marrow fibrosis at dx - I had probably had the disease during several years. I had to start supportive therapy at once to prevent the counts to be too low. Still I am grateful because I have been asymptomatic 6 years except when I had neutropenic fever 2007.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
