have mds and told I am in stage  four; that the bone marrow went from 5 in November to 15 in February. I begin chemo on February 15 and will be on chemo 1 week a month for the rest of my life. I am 87 , in good health , my question is what is my life expectancy and the blasts went from 5 to 15 in three months. What lies ahead for me. Gwen sullivankenn
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have myelodysplasia syn Chat Doctor.  You should continue chemotherapy. Prognosis is not good in stage IV disease. Life expectancy is also not good. Ultimately blast percentage goes above 20% and turn in to acute leukemia. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/
