I was diagnosed with mild MDS at 65. Not eligible for BMT. I had transfusions for about a a year. Was greatful to receive and live with enough energy to enjoy life. Now I am on Lenalide which i have responded well to. It depends on the side affects of the chemo offered. It is not a cure. I would consider quality of life.

Hi, Helen

Thank you for your post! My partner has been diagnosed with High DMS. I believe that's why her doctor has advised chemo. But he was clear in saying that the decision is my partner's and that he would work with her if she should choose transfusions. My partner will make her decision tomorrow. She knows that she has my support no matter what path she chooses to follow.

Best wishes,
Ray
