If you're in Southern California
One of the premier MDS docs is Ron Paquette at UCLA. E-mail paquette@ucla.edu. You might onsider him for a second opinion. By the way, what your dad's doc has done so far sounds entirely reasonable, he sounds knowledgable and aranesp is a good starting med for a condition that seems to have not progressed far. Stay hopeful. With new meds, many MDS patients live far longer than the old statistics (pre- effective drug days) predicted.
