Quick Update on Mayo Visit
Met with Dr late today. Ran late as she was waiting for pathology and chromosome testing.
So the results are in but mixed. The chromosome test found 17q defect on 3 of 20 metapanels. This suggests that yes I do have MDS.
But the pathology results are such that the pathologist said she/he couldn't be sure it was MDS. The pathologist is going to review the slides with other pathologists.How many get to vote? Reminder that my previous pathologist said yes, MDS for sure.
I will get a formal written report and a call from Mayo Dr about Tuesday. Can't wait to see if they all agree on MDS.
More later.
