My mother was scheduled to travel overseas and blood result came really bad in end of July.
Earlier, She was feeling tired as well as having cough and was being anemic. When she went to see doctor (family doctor) about these symptoms, he indicated due to her age (68), she may be feeling that. Her last blood work was done 3 months prior which was perfectly normal.

She was hospitalized for the transfusion. After the transfusion, her oncologist put her on Procrit for 4 weeks for which dosage ended last week.

Her most recent test results after procrit did not come out good. Her hemoglobin level is at 7, platelets 35 and WBC 1.3 .

Doctor wants to start her on dacogen starting this week.

Is it the right approach? Should we try to go through more transfusions?

I am planning to see MDS specialist this week. This forum has certainly helped with many details.

Thanks
