What to do if my bone marrow biopsy showed 25% increased ring sideroblasts. is that a high amount and is that a bad sign that i'm in bone marrow failure?

More info: Why was the marrow done? Ringed sideroblasts are associated with myelodysplasia, a bone marrow disorder characterized by low blood counts, a serious blood disorder. See a hematologist for recommendations.
