I can tell you that from my first bone marrow biopsy, that the local oncologist/hemologist said that I didn't have a bone marrow problem. That I had a bleed which explained the low hemoglobin counts that required me to get transfusions. Thankfully my family doc nor I agreed with him and I was sent to a big cancer clinic. They did another BMB and I was given my dx of MDS.
If possible please get your FIL to a MDS Center of Excellence, they are the experts in this disease. I shudder to think of what my treatment and prognosis would have been had I continued to be the patient of the first oncologist/hemologist.
