My Dad 71M has passed. He was diagnosed with MDS back in 2020. I would like to thank everyone on this sub Reddit for giving advice and support. I hope one day they can find a cure for this disease. For those diagnosed, please keep fighting. I will be supporting you from hthe sidelines. Also, does anyone know of any Charities or donation places for MDs research. Also cancer sucks
I am a 45 year old active male ~165lbs. For the last three years I have had fatigue, an elarging spleen and some CBC blood counts slightly out of range. More recent bone marrow testing shows 35-45% Cellularity at 45 male with 4% blasts and dysplastic changes are observed in the 3% megakaryocytes, Dysplastic changes were observed only in very very rare erythroid precursors, no clonal populations.
Has anyone in the group had similar finding that then went on to be diagnosed as MDS? So far my hemotologist hasn't given any suggestions beyond possible MDS. I've also had a full array of other tests to rule out viruses, lime disease, and anything else more common.
