I had non Hodgkin's lymphoma six years ago, treated with 3 rounds of R-chop chemo and 27 days of radiotherapy. I thought everything was going well until a routine blood test showed that I had enlarged red blood cells. Blood tests didn't give any reason why this was the case, I was referred back to the haematologist that I was under before. She has sent me for blood tests for 18 different things and I have now read that having had R-chop, being 69 years old and having aching in one of my shins there's a good chance that I have MDS. I have another appointment to see her in about seven weeks and I am terrified.
