Close Myelodysplasia
In August 2008 I went into hospital for a vascular operation on my right leg. They took a blood sample and told me my platelet count was down to 66, so I must undergo a bone marrow biopsy, which showed I have MDS. Starting to plan my Funeral Service, but will enough people come to fill the church? Don't fear death, but worry about not being able to live a useful and active life.
Close Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)
I have been diagnosed as having MyeloDyspraisa since September 2008. Today I was told I have crossed the boundary and now have AML. I am given 3 to 6 months to live, and have been offered Chemo/Cytarabine, which gives me a 15 - 20% chance of living longer than the 9 months of the chemotheraphy course. The odds do not seem too well stacked in my favour.
