Depending on the type of MDS you have the range between of life expectancy can be 5 months and never needing treatment. I had MDS RAEB2 high risk with the 5 month expectancy. I had a stem cell transplant almost 4 years ago so you can beat the odds. I am cured of the MDS but still have GVHD issues.

Your being a Viet Nam vet may entitle you to disability due to agent orange exposure. I was pre Veit Nam so even though I was exposed to benzene I was denied disability.

What type MDS do you have?
