Progression of MDS?

Hi friends,

My dad's transfusions appear to be getting closer. From a 8 week interval, to a 4, we are down to a 2 week interval. I know that MDS isn't staged like other types of cancer (Stage I, II, III, IV), but can more frequent transfusions be a sign of progression? Even though I'm so scared right now, I am trying to take things day by day without thinking too far into the future. But sometimes late at night, there is this lump in my throat and ache in my heart that just won't go away.....
Thanks for all your thoughts and input.
