About Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is the name of a group of conditions that occur when the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow are damaged. This damage leads to low numbers of one or more type of blood cells. In MDS, the cells in the bone marrow have problems making blood cells. Many of the blood cells that are formed by the bone marrow cells are defective. The body destroys these abnormal blood cells, leaving the patient without enough normal blood cells and low blood counts.

" I have high cholesterol and am unable to take certain medications … I was prescribed a drug that works well but was unable to afford the high cost. Your co-pay program allows me treatment that is affordable. "

Patricia | Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

" …PAF helps people obtain much needed medications for their illnesses…I was so happy and relieved to receive this generous grant. Having a life threatening disease is stressful enough, but the relief of this financial burden is truly a blessing… "

Jean | Pulmonary Hypertension

" The appropriate place to start is to express my appreciation for your participation in my cancer fighting efforts. Upon hearing the expected cost of the [prescribed cancer fighting therapy] my immediate thought was that cancer would be a contributing cause of my death since that level of expenditure would never fit into a retired teacher’s budget. Therefore please accept my sincere thanks… "

Ray | Multiple Myeloma

Annie | Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

" It is with enormous gratitude that I accept your most generous donation… this indeed helped offset some expenses, the cost of which seems to rise daily. I take great comfort in knowing that your group is out there to assist those of us who have had the misfortune to fall ill to the mysteries of cancer… God bless your wonderful organization for all that you do for so many people in need. "

Sylvia | Breast Cancer

" I was grateful to be approved for help from the Co-Pay program. Without your generosity, I wouldn’t have been able to afford my medication. Thanks to PAF I am continuing to fight my cancer… "
