The problem with the Dacogen or Vidaza is that they might work until they don't. That might be six months or a year, or two, no one can tell. Perhaps a little longer but the odds get pretty steep. The only chance for a "cure" is the stem cell transplant. He would most likely not get a bone marrow transplant. A bone marrow transplant is only used in certain situations and much more difficult for the donor.
How is his health otherwise?
