MDS Low Risk

Thank you for your replies Ray and Cheryl. My numbers don't look all that bad but I was told I had an increase number of Myelocytes and Dysplasia. Also had mutations of ASKL1 and TET2. Platelets were 45,000; White Blood Count was 7.3; Hemogloubin 12.3; Hematocrit 36.7; Absolute Neutrophil 3.4; Absolute Lymphocyte 2.9; - Interesting that my hemoglobin increased from 11.4 to 12.3 in last 60 days by eliminating coffee. Also take supplements - Vitamin C; B-12; Folic Acid; Vitamin K-1 and K-2; Iron; Daily Multi Vitamin; Vitamin D; and lastly Beet Root capsules which i started again a few days ago. Beet root appeared to work good last February when my platelets dropped to 36,000. Then went up to 65,000. I quit taking it as I was going to the bathroom more at night and feeling a little queasy. It's difficult as you read conflicting information on the internet concerning life expectancy and treatments.
