I was diagnosed with MDS - MLD (Multi-lineage dysplasia) by BMB in 2020, but 2 other hospitals looked at my previous BMB from 2017 and said MDS was already present then. All 3 of my lines are low, with platelets and WBC being the most concerning. I have been on watch and wait since diagnosis, usually being seen every three months. There have been a few times (now being one of them) that my neutrophils dipped low enough that he preferred to only go 2 months between appointments. I am one of the lucky ones - I have no symptoms yet, and I thank God for that. My Dr. said if my neutrophils have dropped again at my next appointment, he'll want to do another BMB to see if anything is going on (increased blasts, new mutations, etc.)

If you don't have any other symptoms and your platelets are not dangerously low, I suspect you will end up in a watch and wait situation. It must be difficult to have to face this when you're already dealing with another cancer.

I can't verify, but I have read that red wine reduces platelets. Also, I see a naturopath, and one comment he made is that sesame oil may support platelets.

Please keep us posted on your biopsy results!
