I want to Thank all of you for your letters to me, regarding my husband’s condition. Since we are on a HMO…there are no Oncologist that knows anything about MDS. Don’t know where to go from here. We live in the Phoenix, AZ area and money is an object. Social Security and the few dollars I have only goes so far. Any information would help. We are going to a Cancer support group meeting on Tuesday. Maybe they will have some info for us.

Thanks again. Fran

Husband 73 just had his 2nd opinion and was told he has 10% of blasts but is not anemic at this time so he haven’t gone through chemo yet. Our life is on hold. We have been married only 11 years. I am 71, just had a pacemaker put in and don’t know where to do from here.

Thanks for your halep

I would love to hear from anyone regarding help with my husband. He is 73 and was told that he has MDS. Now we don’t know what to do? At this time he feels fine…just a little tired at times. What is Procrit and how do you get it. He is going to a 2nd Onclogist next Friday.

My hsband was told that he has MDS. He is type RAEB-2. The Oncologist wants to start him on Vidaza. We were told that it only helps 10-20% of the people that have been on it. We are seeing another DR. on the 9th of this month. Does anyone know anything about Revlimid? Our primary care MD said that he did not believe in Chemo.

Husband is 73 years old and we need HELP
We live in Phoenix, Arizona
Thanks
Fran
