Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)

What's in the booklet?

A diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) can be a shock, especially if you have never heard of it. We have written this booklet to help you understand more about MDS. This booklet describes the various types of MDS, and how they are diagnosed and treated. We also include the expected outcome (prognosis) of the MDS subtypes, and how to cope with the emotional impact of MDS.

This hardcopy version of our booklet can be ordered free of charge to UK addresses.
