Myelodysplastic syndromes - causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, pathology

[@LittleCobra]

This year has been so hard on my family. My 27 year old twin sister was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer and now my mother has just been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome multilineage dysplasia. My heart is completely broken, please keep my family in your prayers 🙏

[@osmosis]

We will! Thanks for sharing! ❤️

My mother had MDS and lived with all the symptoms and blood transfusions for about 10 years. She was a trooper.

[@m14monroe]

your comment gives me hope. my mom just got diagnosed over thanksgiving. it sounds bad from what the doctors told her, her platelets are the worst followed by red blood cell. white blood cell seems ok. not sure what the future holds but i'm hoping to have her around a bit longer.

[@sherin7498]

Even my mom is diagnosed with MDS

[@scott5107]

Wow she was a true bad ass. I had to have several months of transfusions and it was rough! Didn't know how long I could keep living on other people's blood. Doing way better now....incredible caring Dr's and loving friends & family saved me.

[@sherri.]

@@scott5107 Wonderful that you're feeling so much better now. Hope it continues!

[@scott5107]

Sherri thank you!🙏

[@wem3121]

I just shared your videos with my classmates in Facebook since we recently started hematology and now you're sharing these syndromes with us. I can't even begin to thank you for all of your effort.

[@TiagonYoutub]

Best presentation I've ever seen on this topic. Thank you so much!! :) It helped me immensely to get the studying on MDS started.

[@osmosis]

Glad it was helpful, Tiago! Best of luck with your studies! 😊

[@muhammadrabiumusa8390]

Another high quality content, kudos to osmosis team!

[@jamesbon1]

Thank you for this video. Although I thought at first I was intermediate risk (5-10% blast), it turns out that I was high risk. Like your video explains the "Clinical Risk Status" is determined by several factors. My bone marrow biopsy indicates that all 3 cells are affected (trilineage) and there are 2 chromosomes missing in my genetic code. I begin Azacitidine next week and then hope for a perfect bone marrow match down the road. I signed up for a clinical study introducing Magrolimab in combo w/ Azacitidine. I pray I respond well.

Hi James! Thanks for sharing! Glad you like our video. Keeping you in our thoughts. 🙏🏼

Hey, how's it going so far? I pray it goes well for you.

[@jamesbon1]

@@abdelwadoudstelzer8863 Thank you. It has gone well. I've been receiving the combination of the 2 chemos to keep the MDS at bay. I've done 4 cycles. Of course, a few bumps in the road, but hey we found 3 matches in Europe. I hope to be hospitalized by mid March for the transplant. God willing.

[@musicsymphony1461]

@@jamesbon1 hey !How are you doing ?

[@jamesbon1]

@@musicsymphony1461 I'm still kickin'. Sadly, none of my siblings were a good match. So, I received the bone marrow from a non related 9/10 match. She is a 19yo in Europe. Woohoo! I won't have her details until a year past the transplant...May 2023. I'd like to somehow thank her in person. My numbers are great. So far, no rejection. Thank God. My next bone marrow biopsy will be in April. We'll see..

[@KYESTV]

As a youngster growing up in St. Louis, Missouri, my home was dusted with Utah atomic test radioactive fallout. I collected some. "What" I thought, "this powder doesn't hurt me." I felt nothing, so I thought it couldn't be harmful. WRONG. Decades can pass from exposure to radioactivity and radiation exposure health effects. In my case? Most of my life. I had no clue. In fact long delayed response to exposure to radioactivity has just been recognised by a few medical experts.
