Just Diagnosed With Mds
Hello All,
I am from Canada, and I was diagnosed with MDS at the middle of July.
My #'s as of today are: HB> 12.2, PCV 0.362, Plateletes 45 White count 3.5
Cytogenetics deletion 20q. RCMD with del(20q)
I am 50 years old. The doctor mentioned too old to have a transplant. I am not taking any medicines at this point. Only on observation, every two weeks I go to Princess Margaret for tests.
Is there someone with the same diagnosis???
How are you adjusting your life? Any advice on what to do/not do?
I read some of the articles about travelling, My husband and I are going on holidays, and now I am a little bit scare.
Do you know of any support group in Canada? Sometimes I feel very down, and I know I have to have a possitive attitude.... Any comments are welcome.
