Patient
I was sent to a hemotologist because of routine blood tests showing low WBC and low platelets. Since then I have had a bone marrow biopsy and diagnosed with low risk MDS, bilineage cyopenia and blast cells of 2.9%. Also, 3 acquired mutationed genes. I was told that we would monitor my blood. I wanted to look for others that have also been diagnosed with this and hopefully learn more about MDS.
