Hi kishore,
You know the first cycles with Dacogen or Vidaza often decreases the counts before the patient responds. Hb 73 is OK. Platelets 16000 are OK if your father isn't bleeding from gums, nose or anywhere else. His WBCs are low and the neutrophils very low at 0.2 (12% of 1.6). When my neutrophils were that low I got Neupogen every day.
Good with no immature cells
!
The ferritin level is a little high (should not exeed 1000 in MDS patients) but it takes years to develope symptoms of iron overload from liver and heart so you don't have to worry about the ferritin value.
Nutrition is very important when we are very ill - did your father get drugs to prevent nausea when he received Dacogen? Ask your father if there is something he thinks he could eat. There are many types of special nutritional drinks for patients receiving chemo and the hospitals often can offer them to the patients.
Kind regards
