White blood cells are at 1.1 and have been for about a year. Platelets range from 75,000 to 99,000. Not sure why such a large range there. And blasts are at 13 percent. To risky for bone marrow transplant. Vidaza is out of the question. I get tired easily. Other than that feel fine. Other issues are more troublesome. Had colon removed. Have constant diarrhea. Since the operation 18 months ago have lost more than 50 lbs.

Hello Simpson, Im very sorry about your situation. Why is Vidaza out of the question for you?

Hi Mark, You may want to consider seeking a second opinion from one of our MDS Centers of Excellence if you have not done so already. Many patients seek even third and fourth opinions. If you would like help in arranging a second opinion, please contact patientliaison@mds-foundation.org and we will be happy to help.
