Re: Myelodysplastic Syndrome - Robin Roberts...now I'm feeling nervous

Hi Jessica
I think your first instinct about tired bone marrow holds a lot of truth. Having years of toxic treatment has got to take its toll.
I have struggled with platelet counts since being on long term herceptin following taxotere. My onc ordered a bone marrow to exclude this syndrome amongst other problem. There are many causes of bone marrow problems that are not as scary as this and hopefully yours will be one of them.
Don't forget the value of good nutrition especially micronutrient content in supporting blood formation. I have to constantly remind myself that now its not just for blood but for my osteoporotic bones!
