Diagnosis of MDS

I am trying to reach Bob McFarlane. The email address posted in one of his threads is not working.. We are just starting the VA claims process and would appreciate any assistance/information available that would help my husband receive a favorable decision on his VA claim.

I have MDS and get my treatment from West Palm Beach VA hospital. Of course I was already enrolled and a patient before they discovered my MDS, but they did find it. So I may not be of much help about claims.
My experience has been, my primary is an okay guy for general things. My Onc/Hema Doc is very good, sharp and seems to know what is going on with me and what treatment path we should be following. I have the slow progressive type and the waiting and patience is killing me.
Hope I've been of some help. Stay around and ask a lot of questions, someone here probably has an answer. Good luck on your journey

In Bob's latest post he said many people were having trouble getting to him. He also gave his cell number to use.
