Angry Leukemia now suspected

My dad just came back from the MD and his white count and platelets are down as well as his hemoglobin. The same MD who said " no, the reason you feel so terrible isn't the MDS coming back" is now saying that it could be leukemia. As you can imagine, I am not at all happy with this MD.
He is going for a BMB on Tuesday - which seems like a long wait when they're suspecting leukemia... It is so hard to be far away when he is going through this. As I said before I can call his doctors until the cows come home and they won't return my call.
Would the Center of Excellence close to him be a good place to start if this is leukemia? He's 83 and not in the best of health right now ( I guess obviously) so I'm not sure what kind of treatment would be good for him - if there is any available....
