other options for supportive care
Vidaza sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Many forms of MDS never transform to AML. Your father might be willing to start with vitamin B-12 shots. Takes five minutes to get at his local doctors office and might give him some energy. It has helped me tremendously.
There are also Procrit (erythropotein shots) that may be available. Vidaza isn't his only option. Help him to have quality of life.
