MDS, 5q deletion
Hello, my name is Viv and I will give you my history of my disease. I have MDS , with 5q deletion. Had a bone marrow biopsy in May, 2006. The doctor started me on Aranesp shots every other week for several weeks and they were not succesful. Also have had 13 blood transfusions and now the doctor wants me to start on a pill called Revlimid 10mg. Since it is very expensive, I am trying to get finanical assistance. I am on Medicare D for prescriptions.I am 68 . Anyone on Revlimid , I would love to hear from you and compare notes. Not on anything except transfusions every 3 to 4 weeks.
