04/02/2019 12:02 PMBrett LavoyParticipantHi Bob, Brett has me type since not his favorite thing to do. I just read your message hate to hear that and please let us know what is going on and what is causing it. We are waiting it out till after first of the year.
Brett was diagnose with MDS but at the low stages and with all that were said to do for it a little confused.
The Doctor in Niles had a type of medication chemo drug to start, when we followed back up with the first doctor
we saw he said to do stem cell transplant right away only solution to cure it while he is still young and before
it get’s to bad. Please and anybody out their have a reply for this.Brett LavoyParticipantHi Bob this Brett sounds like we have close to the same problem
This my e-mail and i could give you my phone # brlavoy@comcast.net
talking will cover things more fasterBrett LavoyParticipantHi Bob: Thank you for sharing with my husband and I what you have been going thru, I think it would be good news if they call back this week after my husband had this second biopsy done saying they can’t find anything wrong that would be great I think. I was wondering did you have bruising of the skin easy, and easy bleeding from a cut.
what was your neut numbers and platelet numbers as well low white blood count numbers. The neut number is what was
raising a flag. I was relieved when the first oncologist/hematologist said he could rule out leukemia and other cancers from the first bone marrow and then still he was not sure if he could rule out the myelodysplasia syndrome which confuses me that when gets worse can turn in to leukemia and maybe we are reading to much into this not sure. And then our primary doctor after seeing for follow up stated if he never had routine blood work up with everything included he would have not known and pretty much would go about his daily routing but for a year had been run down no energy with the 2017 flu around Christmas took him down and then never the same since then. What did your doctor diagnose you with?Brett LavoyParticipantThank you everyone for the responses to help out with being new to all this for my husband, question is their a link to using Advair Diskus that may have something in it to cause some abnormalities was reading a little bit
about it on the web site can cause immunosuppression and change in lab blood values on white blood cells as well bone thinning. I wonder if should bring this question up with the doctor but would have thought his primary would be alert on that but maybe cause my husband been on it for several years but he never had a complete lab work order every year either.Brett LavoyParticipantHi Allan thank you for the feedback my husband and I appreciate it very much.
Brett LavoyParticipantThank you Allan that gives me some relief and hope that this may turn out to be the same for my husband some
have called it the new norm and if stay the same and not get worse and get better at times be ok with that.
but were you told to be careful with getting an infection or getting sick that could it be dangerous. But the diagnosis of what stage or ? his bone marrow biopsy second one to be done is on Tuesday since the referral
got all messed up to have done was to be today.Brett LavoyParticipantNEUT% MD 14.0 % 34.0 – 73.5 % L

Component Result Flags
A = Abnormal C = Critical H = High L = LowBrett LavoyParticipantQuestion pat Lawson what was your husbands neut number? this was raising the flag with my husbands was 0.5 and platelet count from 113 down to 111. white blood count 3.4 and red blood count 3.55 trying to figure this all out. And on top of that he had low energy for a year now. They are gearing toward MDS but our HMO did not get referral over for his second bone marrow biopsy to be done today by this second doctor that was referred for us to see. We are both getting frustrated over all this not getting the answers. Would like to get some more feed back from anybody else who had this problem and is the numbers above really bad or we’re being told could get worse due to
the bone marrow not functioning like it should for some reason. I was numb when they sent a manual home with my
husband and I to read about stem cell and other options for mds. -
