Update
Lot has happened in the last week or so. my FIL completed his first round of Vidaza. He went for a kidney biopsy last week and was admitted to the hospital on 10/28. Very weak, bloated, needed oxygen looked like death. We were expecting the worst, even then oncologist on call said his condition was very serious. He has stabilized a bit, no longer on oxygen, still bloated and having some cognitive issues. He was moved to a hospital in his hometown and his treating oncologist saw him yesterday. More pathology came in and he is Jak2 positive. Doctor said he has Myleofibrosis and MPN. He seems to think the combination of Vidaza and Jakafi will help him considerably.
Hopefully he will get a response and his spleen will decrease. While he is not out of the woods, we don't think his situation is not as critical as we had thought earlier this week.
