Hi. My husband was just diagnosed 4 days ago with MDS. He was in the hospital for 5 days because it was discovered during a followup visit with his GP that he was anemic with a count of 13 on the Hematocrit. The doctor said that was the lowest he had ever seen and husband was borderline going into shock. So had to call 911 and rush him to the hospital for 6 pints of blood and platelets. Friday night he was released and has his first doctor's apt this afternoon. We were wondering what to expect. The specialist said he may have to have another transfusion tonight.
