Myelodysplastia/Leukemia???

Hello, My grandmother (71 years old) was diagnosed with Myelodysplastia last month and this week was diagnosed with leukemia. I do not yet know what type of leukemia it is, but the nurse told my mother that is was an aggressive form of leukemia. And to make matters worse, her kidneys aren't functioning very well. This means that they cannot give her Chemo right now until her kidneys are functioning better. Has anyone else gone through this? Please share with me. I don't know what to think and do right now. THis is very upsetting for me and my family. Any kind words, advice, or experience would help. Thanks, Laura

Hi Laura


I hope my co-cl visits the board tonight, as I believe she can answer this question for you.


I am so very sorry your Grandmother is so ill.

Hope everyone has a great Summer!
