What's New in MDS May 19 2021

[@rizzypatriot3212]

My husband was just diagnosed with MDS. I’m convinced having covid twice in 4 months is the cause. He is 68 years old. Still waiting on rest of biopsy report. No treatment plan as of yet. I’m scared to death.

I have been in treatment since Feb. 2019 (Kaiser). No IV's, except for blood and platelets, had those about 4 times); I get injections for 7 days, over a 9 day period, and each cycle starts every 3 weeks or so. I should add that for an 8 month period I did not have any treatment (except for all of the oral med's I have to take - every day)., but had blood tests every 3(?) weeks or so.
