New Diagnosis

Hi Bob ..my husband 56 was just diagnoses with mds...we are still waiting for the results of chomosome and another bone marrow biopsy result to know for sure the stage, score. He didn't serve in nam but was in the bomb dumps during that time as well as in the early 80s and has talked about handling the "outdated" bombs etc. They didn't have masks or special gear, just men with bare hands checking to see if the bombs were still secure, dust etc that spewed out coated them etc. Have you ever heard of any of this type of contact causing mds? We are just searching for a reason - maybe to be able to fight it or maybe just to keep our sanity.

Thanks for any input you or anyone else out there might have.
