Hi Peachy!
As Dan wrote Revlimid can work in a little less than 30 % of low risk patients without the 5qdel (I belong to this group).
The trials with Vidaza and Revlimid have showed different results. Here is one study with positive results:

I have seen studies where they give the patients up to 50 mg Revlimid and I think that is a very high dose. I started with 5 mg and continued with 10 mg, that worked one year for me but at that time I had low risk MDS.
There are really special tests now that will show who will respond to Revlimid but these tests are only performed by researchers.
Hope Revlimid will work for your husband!
Kind regards
