Normal CBC and MDS?
Hi all
A friend of mine has symptoms very similar to mine when I was diagnosed in 2011. He has already had a range of tests including a CBC but with results in normal range (mine weren't). This may seem like a very weird question but is there any chance that he could have a form of MDS and still have normal blood counts? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks.

MDS
Hi Cheryl!
As far as I understand we have to have at least one cell- line affected. Here is the WHO criteria for MDS page 4. http://www.leukemia-net.org/content/...WP80902192.pdf Kind regards Birgitta-A
