Hi. My husband was just diagnosed with MDS (and POEMS syndrome simultaneously - which is very rare) just 6 weeks ago. Luckily it was diagnosed early. He is on weekly Darzalex infusions (Monoclonal antibodies) and starting lenalidomide this week. I'm trying to learn everything about managing, coping and daily living with these conditions....... did the B12 shots help?
