My dad still has the MDS and isn't getting any better. He now has these terrible lumps/growths on his neck. He had one biopsy, by an ear, nose & throat doctor, but they didn't find anything. My dad finally agreed to go to the Roswell Cancer Institute, nationally known facility located right here in Buffalo, NY. They will do a cat scan next week on the lump, and he also shows some sign of something going on in his lungs. I'm on the verge of crying every second, and to see my dad steadily declining in his health is unbelievable. He went from 120 mph last year to like 12, and our family is in a state of disbelief. Can somebody please tell me why there are now the lumps and growths in his neck area? He had a bone marrow scan a few weeks ago, and the disease hasn't progressed to leukemia, in fact, the RBC have gotten a little better. He gets at least 1-2 pints of blood per week to stay alive. We're worried sick. Is there any hope here??????????? Please somebody, help!
