Hi DianeD,
Thank you for the kind words
!
You know that the 5 days treatmen is a relatively old knowledge - if your dr not have read about that I suspect that he isn´t up to date considering other aspects of MDS treatment either.
Here is an abstract from the American Society of Hematology 2007 - ASH is the best conference in the world for hematologists and they should all follow the abstracts even if they don´t attend the conference.

As you can see 5 days treatment gave the best result.
Then we now know that even the dose 75 mg/kvm is discussed - perhaps a lower dose could be just as effective and give less adverse reactions.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
