    Have MDS for year and half. Received azacitidine chemotherphy (35) and blood transfusions (5). Current blood work shows following: WBC 1.8 RBC 2.10 HGB 7.8 RDW 27.0 PLT 46 and NE 0.7.
    Seems nothing is improving. Blood infusion works for about a day and half. Chemo seems to cause numbers to decrease and stopping chemo numbers come back up for awhile.
    For those that have gone through this what am I facing for the future? Getting very tired of going in weekly for blood work. Scared to have to much blood infusion because of iron build up.
