thrombocytopenia
Hello Bob,
I assume that her bone marrow must have had some dysplastic cells("funny looking cells") to be classified as MDS. I would make sure that she hasn't taken any drugs, either over-the-counter or prescribed, that might affect the bone marrow or cells. I know that it is not always feasible to get a second opinion but my hometown hematologist did send me for a confirmatory opinion at an MDS Center of Excellence. You can find these listed on this website. She may already be going to one of these centers, if not, requesting that she see an expert there might be something to consider. Tytd
