It's not a new oncologist. Just moved her appointment up a month. They mentioned starting her on Luspatercept next week so we'll see.

I expect your sister is feeling a little more perky tonight after her transfusion today. I’m really relieved for her because I know how debilitating it feels to have hemoglobin that low.
Luspatercept is one of the newer meds available for anemia with lower risk MDS so hope this makes a positive difference in your sister’s health. She deserves to start feeling better after all she’s been through! Keep me updated, ok? Sending her a hug.

Hi @pathilt, I just wanted to check in to see how your sister has been feeling. She started a new med for her MDS related anemia a few weeks ago. Has she seen any improvement? Any updates from her hematologist oncologist?
