Hi again Sylvia. I'm glad that Henry is so positive... I could probably learn a thing or two from him.

So yeah, I was diagnosed a few months ago with intermediate MDS. But I've been having platelet problems for over a year now. I had to have surgery last year and needed platelet transfusion to get through. I knew something was up... but it took a while before they would do a biopsy. But suddenly I was dealing with platelet counts of 20 and so then biospy test showed I have a few cytogenic problems which confirm MDS.

If u have any other questions... maybe I can help. All the best with your appointment. Jules
