A Caregiver's Story: MDS Diagnosis Changes their Lives

I know my fiancé well. Even though he seemed to be healthy and his job kept him active, I knew it had been a long time since he had a medical physical, so I pushed him into an appointment.
Without symptoms, the doctor suggested routine blood work as a part of the physical. We were surprised that all his counts were low. The doctor decided to check again in a month, so I made sure that his diet was healthier and that he took vitamins, hoping that would correct any problem.
