Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) is a very rare illness. I hope you are taking care of your self and you should be ready for a wonderful spring.

My platelets usually return to normal but I’ve had to have platelet transfusions a few times because of criticality low counts.

Hello Bob I also have MDS/MPN and currenty have been taking hydroxyurea. It seems to be working. I still stay tired and short of breath at times but thank the good Lord rd I’m doing good

I do. I don’t have Leukemia but I do have two precursors; MDS and MPN. I have what’s known as an MDS/MPN Overlap. MDS used to be known as Pre-Leukemia.
Those of us with the overlap then to lean one way or the other regarding platelets. With MDS, platelets are typically low and with MPN, they’re high. We tend to lean one way or the other. Mine are high.

My platelets are low but doctor says nothing will be done until they drop more, low end of the guideline now.
