Hi Jeanette. I am very sorry to hear about you dad. I am one of the lucky ones who have survived this retched disease. i was only 37 when I was diagnosed with mds given 4 years to live but managed to pull through I am 47 now and have been able to build my life up again. I am sorry for your loss but giving the ripe old age of your father and his symptoms worsening the consultant was doing the right thing and it was the best thing for your dad. i hope you have managed to find some comfort from my words and remember with charity donations from people like your son the research being done is progressing closer everyday to finding the cure...be at peace and kind regards,
Martin.

Re: MDS and Altzeihmers Disease
Dear Jeanette,
I'm so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing and I know it was doubly hard for you and your brother that he had this disease on top of his Alzheimer's. He was lucky however, to have had such a caring daughter, son and family to support him and thankfully, he is at peace now.
My sincere condolences to you and your family at this sad time.
