Is dacogen good for my mother
Hi all, my mother has MDS in addition to recurrent ovarian cancer. We need to treat mds and then start with treating ovc recurrence. So far we gave mom revolade 50 mg and also erythropoietin injections to raise platelets. However they are falling to 23000/-. Decitabine (dacogen) is the only other option for mom now. The oncologist is of the opinion that mom might not survive the treatment as it is very rough. Mom is 66 years old, Indian, vegetarian, has had multiple rounds of surgeries, chemo and radiation to treat her ovarian and breast cancers. Please tell me if dacogen is too severe and life threatening. Should I go ahead with it?
