When Revlimid fails, what next.

When Revlimid fails, what next, I was diagnosed with MDS del 5q in November 2018 at the age of 80 years. I was given Eprex injections and that failed about 18 months then started on Revlimid and have continued on that for over 2 years now. I see a doctor at Odette Cancer Centre at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences, which is a centre of excellence in Toronto, Canada. The doctor says when Revlimid fails there is only blood transfusions. Is this doctor correct, are there any studies one could join.
