Chemo

Hi Sarah,
I looked at all your posts but I could not find the name of the chemo your father has received and responded to during many months. Is it Vidaza?

You know when a patients has responded to Vidaza and the drug no longer has any effect (or never had any effect) there is a risk for decrease of all counts.

These patients should try to get a Stem Cell Transplantation if possible. If this is impossible because of the patient's age or other diseases the patient should try to participate in a clinical trial for MDS.

Will your father allow you to ask his doctor if a clinical trial is an option for him?
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
