MDS World Awareness Day 2023

Every year on October 25, the MDS Alliance and their member groups around the world, come together to raise awareness of Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), which is a type of rare blood cancer, where the bone marrow does not produce enough healthy blood cells. There are a number of types of MDS, some of which stay mild and can be undetected for years, others are more serious and progressive, and symptoms are felt and seen. This World Awareness Day, we are sharing information on the signs and symptoms of MDS and highlighting that getting a blood test, with a full blood count analysis can confirm a diagnosis, as with all cancers, the earlier the diagnosis, the better, so please get involved in sharing the materials available below and help spread awareness. Thank you
