I know, I asked the doc the same and he'd told that it's because of the cytogenetic abnormality of 5q and 7q and that's why my father has been given an IPSS score of Intermediate-1 (and the RAEB).
The thing is complicated, and varies from person to person, but is it uncommon for people with MDS (RAEB-1) to be transfusion free for 20 days or so (and no other meds during this time)? My dad had his last blood transfusion on 31st May and the 9th June report showed a Hb count of 9.4 and platelets 43K. Just wondering if this is a good sign.
