I am recently diagnosed with MDS. Still in shock.
This week I will travel to Mayo clinic in Rochester, MN to get a second opinion and hopefully some advise.

I am 69 years old but have been very active. Raising a 13 year old adopted grandchild; hockey mom; football and baseball mom. I retired 12 years ago but have been holding two part-time jobs. I love animals and have a hobby farm with lots of critters.

I am scared about this disease because I need at least 5 years to raise this last child. My husband cannot raise him alone and there is really no one of our family or friends who could do this.

I hope to learn everything about MDS that I can. I have lots of questions but will save them for another forum.
