Unhappy MDS

Hi All, It's been a while since I last wrote but I had another Bone Marrow test at Moffitt done on the 18th of march to confirm that I do have MDS and not Itp as some thought I had.My blasts are at 2.5 which I guess are fine but I really don't understand what a blast is and I now have red blood cells that are changing shape and don't really know what's going on there either. I have blood work weekly and my platelets are up to 62,000 last week up from 52,000 the week before. I really don't want to have to take predisone again as it really did a number on me last time but I guess that's the only thing that helps at this time with the platelets . My platelets are the only thing affected by this disease but will it go after the other cells as time goes by and what is my prognosis ?:
