Very worried about MDS. I am extremely anxious and feel very alone.

Hi guys, I am 41 years old and have recently have numerous low WBCs over about 6 months and I also have platelets of differing sizes. My RBC is fine. I don’t feel ill or have any symptoms whatsoever. I am extremely worried about MDS because I was exposed to lead in water for about a year and a half and apparently lead exposure is a risk factor or for MDS.

I have 2 gorgeous children, a lovely husband and I am so scared of what these blood results could mean. I am not sleeping well at all because I am completely consumed with stress. Is there anyone on here with insight into this disease, I am desperate for reassurance.
