Hi Ladies, l hope you are as well as you can be! I haven't posted for some time as things have not been to great.After the chemo last July l had to have several blood transfusions and magnesium infusions. Well to cut a long story short l had to go for a bone marrow biopsy and the outcome of this was l have MDS which the MDT think has been caused by the amount of chemo l have had over the past 10 years for which l am very grateful Unfortunately they are unable to give me anymore chemo as this with excaberat the MDS and l could be looking at things turning into leukaemia. However l feel reasonably well at the moment and see the oncologist on the 24th October so hoping she can come up with a plan,l remain hopeful take care Pam x

Lovely to hear from you Pam. I am sorry to hear about MDS, as I understand it this is a failure of bone marrow? I hope you and your team can find a plan. I guess with more of us surviving 5-10 years it’s more of a thing being driven by exposure to chemo.

I hope you keep well and lead us into a second decade living successfully with the old beast..

Hi. I’m really sorry to hear about the mds. However you must hav quite a life force to survive six rounds of chemo, so hopefully you’ll find a way through this as well. Sending positive thoughts. Xx
