>I think that given my age and the low chance of MDS a BMB is not normally done unless you are not responsive to ITP therapy, which is what happened. Thrombocytopenia was my only symptom, there really wasn't any reason to believe it was anything more. After about 3 months of treatment, we did the BMB and then changed to the MDS diagnosis....<
Dan, I can relate to that. My doctor said the same, due to my "young" age (I'm 53, what about you?) & thrombocytopenia is my only sympton, BMB was not done. But my mum had MDS/AML, still he thinks BMB is needed if there's a change in symptons or I'm a bit older. I'm wary & try to find out more about MDS in the meantime.
Now that you are feeling better, I hope your condition will stay that way. Good luck!
