hi

thanks for making this site!

My Dad is 80 and recently diagnosed with mds. He had been anemic for quite some time before dx and was on the arnesp shots for almost 2 years with not much success. finally his dr sent him to hemo/oncologist towards the end of Feb. they did the bmb that day. 2 weeks later when we took him for results his platelets went from 70k down to 24k, so that moved him from biopsy intermediate 1 to high risk. Since Dec he has had over 20 units of blood. so far no platlets.
