Low WBCs

Dear Jadon,
How sad that you lost your dad!

It is true that low WBCs leading to infections always are a threat for us. All kind of infections will kill our WBCs and as our bone marrow often can't make enough new we get new infections. Infections and bleedings are very frequent death causes in MDS.
Warm regards
Birgitta-A
