Myelodysplastic syndrome survivor: Why I joined a clinical trial
I¡¯d never heard of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) before I was diagnosed with it in November 2019. So, I didn¡¯t know it was a bone marrow disorder that could turn into acute myeloid leukemia.?
But I learned very quickly how serious it was after two local oncologists told me I didn¡¯t have much time left. Treatment would only buy me a little more. I thought, ¡°That¡¯s bull crap,¡± and started looking around for a third opinion....
