Hi, Kert.

I think it's unusual for an MDS patient to have a relatively good Hemoglobin count like you do. I presume you are not transfusion-dependent. Is that right?

I was lucky that my white count remained pretty high (in the 4's and 5's) before my transplant, so I was at less risk for infections. With such low WBC, you must have to be very careful about exposure to crowds in public places or even to family members with colds.

Good luck with your second week of Dacogen. Keep us posted.

Regards,
Ruth
