Great sense of humor...I too am glad they saw a brain on the MRI .

Are you going to see your hematologist/oncologist since you are going to get another round of Vidaza? If so, I would ask them about the bone marrow infiltration and see if it's related to the MDS. Take your results with you when you go.

John had surgery when his platelets were 36K, HGB around 10 and ANC 1.8. He did very well with it. They transfused platelets just before and during surgery and then he got two units of red cells afterwards. However, his counts were probably higher than yours are now. And even though his count were low, his cells functioned very well.

Are you going to have surgery on your back?
