When the latest BMB and all cultures are have been taken your father could start with Neupogen. All guidelines for MDS treatment recommend that instead of waiting for next infection perhaps with virus or fungi that are difficult to treat. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/207347-treatment

Hope your father will get the very best treatment in the future too!
Kind regards

Hi Brigitta,

I believe Dad will start getting Neulasta along on the sixth day of his chemotherapy (now switching to Dacogen, new BMB revealed increased blasts). Hope you are doing better and your platelets counts are getting better. Will look into the Promacta with the GSK pharma agent in Kuwait and maybe will luck out procuring it.

Good Luck and wish you the best.
