New to MDS and forum.

Hello, I am new to MDS as well as new in learning to use a forum. About all I've learned about MDS I have found on the internet.
In June this year my husband age 73 was told he has mds. Had BMB that showed high grade RAEB. He has low white count and low platelets. He had one series of Dacogen therapy and for 2 wks was improving then all of a sudden he
developed pneumonia that came on so quickly I couldn't even get him to the to the car to take him to the hosp. before he was unable to help himself in any way or even understand what I needed him to do to help me get him there.
He spent a week in the hosp being treated with antibiotics and given platelets. Dr has said he will not do any more Dacogen. We see his Dr next week. So for right now I am just trying to learn as much as I can.
