Dad may have MDS - new member

We are waiting to find out if my Dad has MDS secondary to chemotherapy. His oncologist sent a bone marrow test in for chromosome testing and we were told today that the test was inconclusive as the white blood cells failed to grow. I am wondering what this may mean? In the meantime, my Dad is taking Aranesp and Prednisone and is having his blood checked every two weeks. He had his first blood transfusion a couple of weeks ago and feels much better. We remain, however, very worried and scared.
