MDS in older patients

My father was diagnosed with MDS in December '07. He is 84 years old and having a hard time dealing with getting rbcs every other week and platelets every week. He has atrial fibrillation as well. He did take Revlimid for a while but it did not help. His only treatment right now is aranesp which helps a little with the hemoglobin. He is becoming depressed. Does anyone out there have experience with MDS at his age?
