Sorry to hear your wife has gone through so much in the last month. But confirmimg MDS and what type it may or not be is still not easily done.
I went through a similar sequence of testing - but NO TREATMENT whatsoever (IMO it sounds like the "...neupogen injections after this biopsy..." were premature). It took about 8 weeks for me to get a confirmed low-risk MDS diagnosis. This was in early 2008. One would think things could be confirmed faster now, but maybe the progess hasn't been as good as we expected.
