I'm 60, male, and healthy. For the last 2 tears my WBC have dropped consistently and am now at wbc=1.7 and neutrophils = 0.9.. My specialist has diagnosed MDS in absence of another explanation after testing for other options to no avail. Bone marrow biopsy was normal with 2% blasts. RBC and platelets are just under normal but OK. No infections at all and clotting OK for now . I'm on no treatment but have been advised to get testing for bone marrow donors.
Anyone have this picture now or previously? Thanks Rod Posted on 06/08/09, 10:06 pm |

Good luck. I would say with only 2% blasts you are a very small way along the way. So no diminution of platelet count? What is your Red Blood Cell Count? Keep in touch Chris

Thanks Chris for the reply.
RBC and platelets are both down 10% only below the range minimum. Slight anaemia and slight tendency to bruise..not really a problem here at the moment and feel totally normal at the moment. Its hard to find a similiar blood picture. Rod
