Good Morning All,

My Dad has finally agreed to allow me to attend his Hemo/Oncology appointment with him today. Thanks to all the support and advice I received here I was able to lovingly change his mind, and for that Im ever so thankful!

Now....what to ask the Dr.?

I know I need to find out what subtype of MDS he has, but what else am I going to need to know?

For some background - my Dad has been having Vidaza therapy monthly since May 2011. His dr. Has recenly said they are stopping this as it seems to be doing more harm than good. My Dad now has a blood test weekly and transfusions every 2 weeks.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I feel like Im playing catch up and my parents have been blindly following 1 dr.'s advice, but cannot answer any of my questions.

Thanks Friends!
