Hi Stephen

We talked briefly at the Forum in London and so glad you found it helpful. Yes, Dr Vyas was great - very thoughtful about his answers and he gave a very comprehensive talk about MDS and treatments.

Have you also checked on this site to see if there are any regional MDS groups meeting that you could join as well as a general cancer club may not be so specific with some of the issues that MDS patients have. As you say, the symptoms are many and varied!!! Sophie may be able to put you in touch with others in your area, too.

Hope your MDS is not too bothersome for you at present?

Best wishes

Chris
