1. as case is diagnosed with MDS (pre leukemia) that means your stem cells are/is not functioning well.
2. did it occurred due to environmental exposure or is genetic?
3. treatment is/will depend at this stage not to progress to LEUKEMIA stage,(because presentation and case is unusual (rare) thus consult your healthcare provider regarding the same.
