Hi Everyone,
My Dad's cycles of Vidaza had no effect. He went into hospital yesterday for platelets and RBC. The doctor however has chosen to keep him in hospital and is talking of giving him three weeks of Chemo while in hospital? He has just had a bone marrow biopsy (without sedation!). The doctor who did it for him mentioned to him that his bone is "soft". Do any of you know what this means? I'm assuming that they have given him the biopsy to track the progression of his MDS (high risk)? He is in a hospital 3 hours away from us so we're communicating long distance which is frustrating.
