Newly diagnosed
My name is Rob, I am 43 and live in Riverside CA. I was diagnosed with MDS less than a month ago after spending a week in the hospital with pneumonia. I am so thankful I found this site - I have learned so much from it already. I am told that I am in the intermediate - high risk catagory, and will need a bone marrow transplant ASAP. I have been approved at City of Hope, unfortunately no family members were a match but I have 156 possible matches on the registry. My blasts are <4%, WBC'S 1.9, HGB 11.1, RBC'S 3.77 and platelets are 79. This has been quite a month, I have much to learn. I look forward to any information/advice I can receive on this site. Thanks everyone!
