Hopeful,
Thanks so much. I will discuss this with my doctor when I see him next week.
Just a general question to everyone -- how is one completely sure that it is MDS or AA? I am still struggling to accept that I have an MDS diagnosis. I think it's primarily due to the fact that I am young (31 yrs old now, first presented with pancytopenia at age of 28), seem to have no chromosomal abnormalities and have consistently remained below 5% blasts despite ever-so-slowly declining counts over the past few years. Are there any questions I can ask my doctor to get a better of idea of whether or not he is 100% confident in the MDS diagnosis -- that maybe there is a possibility that it is instead AA, pernicious anemia or another disorder?
Thanks everyone, and a happy new year!
Cheers
