Hi Chirley,
Here is a link about definitions in the diagnosis of MDS:
http://www.hematologics.com/pdf/ref36.pdf
Try first page 35 - if it is too complicated ask your hematologist - and then page 6 - perhaps you have Idiopathic Cytopenia of Uncertain Significance (ICUS).
I think you fulfil the prerequisite criteria - A - but none of the MDS-related criteria - B - but you didn´t mention anything about blast cells in bone marrow. The co-criteria - C - are so complicated that you have to ask your hematologist if he did any of these examinations
.
Kind regards
Birgitta
Diagnosed MDS May 2006 - June 2006. Then rediagnoses to myelofibrosis til September 2007. Since then I have MDS intermediate-1.
