Hi and welcome to this corner of the Community.
Goid to hear that you and your wife was able to think out of the box when you could get any answers - did you not get the number for the chemo help line - ask your team.
I have another type of blood cancer but if you put down the name of the treatment you are having someone may be able to help you put.
There are a number who post with MDS so let’s look for them to come along.
Thanks feel very alone in these strange times
The hospital have not been very forthcoming doing anything
Even the basics seem to be hard too get
IIts a struggle as they have moved the whole department to another hospital
I am going there today for the first time ,hoping things will improve
As i was sort of diagnosed last october and not even assigned a primary nurse as yet
So make sure you get some clear answers to your questions as this will turn the noise down in your head.
Come back and tell me how you got on.
