Hi There,
My husband, Ron was diagnosed (dx) with MDS back in Feb'09. Prior to dx, he had nightly fevers and night sweats. Once dx with MDS, if a fever develops, they have to admit inpatient and hunt the source of infection. Sometimes, the search produces absolutely nothing and you learn that, MDS itself can cause fevers and night sweats.

Now, after getting the condition under control, with a clinical trial of low-dose Vidaza 10-Days each month, my husband went 13 cycles without fevers. But, unfortunately, the medicine stopped working for Ron and then, he developed AML. He had been dx with low risk MDS and was the least likely to transition to AML. His fevers during the transition from MDS to AML were 103F nightly accommpanied by sweats... it was terrible.

Ron went through induction therapy and his AML has been put into remission. We thank God for his progress. A bone marrow biopsy will show how he's doing, post induction and post 1 cycle of Consolidation Chemo therapy...

Good luck to you and your loved one...
Hugs, Cindy
