It is so wonderful that your dad is willing to go to various doctors and affiliates to seek other opinions, get advice. My dad is very stubborn, set in his ways (hard headed Sicilian) and won't waiver from his doctor and his current treatment. In fact, when I've suggested he go to Roswell in Buffalo, NY because they are noted as a center of excellence in the field of MDS, he screamed at me and told me to mind my own business, so I am, but it's hard, because I know if it were me or any person I had any persuasion over, I would definitely seek a 2nd opinion at an insititute such as Roswell.

In the meantime, my dad isn't doing any different. Still weak and winded. Tomorrow he gets his blood test, so I'll let you know what the readings are. Last week, he was needed a transfusion. I think he might need another this week - he just doesn't seem to be getting better!
