Hi Patti,
The only study about Revlimid (lenalidomide) and Dacogen (decitabine) I can find is still recruiting patients and we have no results:

Still I don't think Dean's doctor will continue with Dacogen because Dean had so severe adverse effects.
Perhaps Dean's doctor would let him try Promacta or Nplate for his low platelets before trying a new chemo. You could look at Kirby Stones personal profile and posts - he has a very caring doctor like Dean and has tried both these drugs for low platelets.
Here is a study about Promacta (eltrombopag) in MDS patients. Thrombocytopenia means low platelets:

There are many studies about Nplate (romiplostim) in MDS patients:
