Hello,

I am very sorry to hear about your son. I am 26 and my fiance (34) he was diagnosed with MDS (raeb 18%). Both your son and my fiance is so young to have this disease as it is so rare in younger people. My fiance has had his first round of chemo but did not get remission so he is now on his second induction with mylotarg.He is needing a transplant too.

What subtype of MDS does your son have?

Hello Fran,

I am 26 and my fiance (34) was diagnosed with MDS (raeb 18%) he has had his first round of chemo but did not get remission so he is now on his second induction with mylotarg. I am familar with your husbands diagnosis but being 73 I am not sure of how he would take the chemo although I have heard mylotarg is proving very effective for elderly patients.I am not a doctor so I think it would be best to speak with someone who is qualified. I am not sure where you are in the world but here is the number of leukaemia care they are so supportive and will give you the information you need. The number is 0800 169 6680
