Agenda:

• Initial Meeting Introductions
• Q & A Session
• Quality of Life Discussion – Patients and carers share their experience in dealing with the disease
• Date of Next Meeting

Please feel free to suggest topics and themes that you would like to hear about - or speakers you have found helpful.
Please also consider giving a brief informal chat yourself about how you are dealing with MDS - what you have learnt, what has been helpful, what has been good to avoid as well.  This is incredibly useful information to share with others.
