How can I say Thanks to the quick and carring response. I have only had one bone marrow done biopsy and am being scheduled in a week or two for my second. My white blood count is app 2.4. The doctor that I am seeing is a hematologist. I really don’t understand any of this yet, but I hope to educate myself. I have been told that my daughter’s could be a 20% chance of a match. I was also told this by a nurse at ST Margaret’s Hospital in Toronto, Canada. I have 2 sister’s and 4 brother’s, but asking them to help is asking to much. Unfortunately that’s the kind of family I have. Just after my bone marrow biopsy I was in a car accident and injured my back. I am needing surgery, but the hematologist I am seeing is concerned. White blood count is very low and chance’s of an infection could set in. I know absolutely nothing about MDS and would like to educate myself. So if anyone can help it would be wonderful. Neil you seem to have alot of knowledge and I believe that the best education come’s from the people who have it.i would like to tell you all that if there is anything I can do for you, please ask and I will try my best. Even just to talk. Friends can be the best medicine….Neil I will be sure to ask alot of questions from the Dr. There were alot of low levels with my blood test and that is the reason a bone marrow was done. I wasn’t given any number’s except for my white blood count.I was in shock when the doctor gave me the results, so alot of what he said is a big blank to me. Drove home and was afraid to tell my family. We just lost 2 grandparents in a 1 month span. We are trying to heal from our loss. Is ther e any books that I can purchase? All the help would be great. Thanks to you all.
