Ann,
I just want to agree with everyone else here that has already spoken. Please, please DO NOT GIVE UP and don't let your Dad give up. My husband was recently diagnosed with MDS and just finished his third round of Vidaza. And while he hasn't had the side effects of your Dad, my husband is fixing to be 73 and he is going to fight this roller coaster disease as long as there is a breath left in us. I have read and read and tried to learn as much as I can about this disease so that I can help him. So please keep trying to convince your Dad to seek another doctor. It is so important to have confidence in your doctor and it doesn't sound like that is the case with your Dad. So please find another doctor. There are so many different options out there today for each individual MDS case and I have to believe there is something that can help your Dad to have a better quality of life as well as a longer life. God bless you in your efforts to help him. Keep us all posted.
Linda
Husband dx 5/26/2010 MDS Int-1; Vidaza 28 day cycle.
