Today I was able to get some answers from the resident doctor who came in to give us the results of a chest x-ray. He clearly explained why they are now confident in a diagnosis of MDS versus AML. Based on all the tests and symptoms that my wife has, she would either have AML or MDS. After taking another look at the number of blast cells, the high number that comes with leukemia is not there. She is under the threshold of what they would consider the line between AML and MDS. After he explained that, I feel much better about the diagnosis of MDS, not that I feel better that she has MDS because it sounds just as bad as AML, but better that this is the right diagnosis.
