Grandpa Has MDS

So sorry your grandpa at 90 has MDS. You asked about effects of shots but I did not see what kind of shots he is getting. My husband, 76, has had MDS for two years. He has gotten Aranesp and at others time Epogen or Procrit. Except for some minor pain when the shots is being given, if it is injected too fast, he hasn't had any noticeable side effects. That is why I asked for the type of shots is was going to be getting.

Good luck to him and the family.

Joan
