Marixyz,

I'm glad your Dad has agreed to go to Roswell. It definitely sounds like he needs a more detailed review of his situation.

I have heard of painless lumps in the neck, underarm, stomach, groin etc. as being symptomatic of MDS. The National Cancer Institute lists such lumps as one of the possible signs of childhood leukemia or MDS. They may be disturbing to see, but I hope it helps to know that they are not so out of the ordinary with an MDS diagnosis. Are the growths causing your Dad any pain?

Let us know what the doctors at Roswell say.

Regards,
Ruth
