Hello Everyone...Been a while.....
since I've been on this board....dad still going through the motions of living with MDS/RARS...For the past six months he has become more transfusion dependent requiring tx approx every 3 weeks. He recently started Revlimid (after treatment with Thalomid was unsuccessful and causing allergic reactions)...He has taken the revlimid for one full month so far and was late in receiving the next dose due to delays from his hematology office...(they're so ridiculous...always having to constantly be on top of them to do things..ugh!). He started taking his second dose of revlimid last week. He was tx on 3/30/11 and was also given a blood thinner injection in the stomach. This is the first time he has been given a blood thinner and I was wondering if this is a normal recurrance for tx dependent MDS patients?
Well wishes to ((((all)))).
Sophia
