My wife(75 years) was diagnosed CNS lymphoma 2.5 years ago and treated with M-RVP plus Cytarabine as consolation. As per last week’s brain MRI she is Ned.
However her recent CBC showed anemia and low platelets and high RDW.
Can it be MDS or secondary AML caused by the chemotherapy?
Symptoms: easy bruising and fatigue/weakness after walking for 15 minutes

Hi @kippi1950, while a number of us have been through blood cancers and treatments we really can’t diagnosis conditions and speculating often just leads to unnecessary stress and worry. So the best answer will come from your wife’s hematologist oncologist. I know it’s frightening when you see changes in blood work after having gone through so much already.
Did you see her results online first and waiting for a followup from her doctor?
