My father, 78 years old, has had one round of vidaza, and has two rounds of dacogen in. After the second round, he wound up in the hospital wih almost no platelets and no white cells, reds very low. He is coming along now. After several bags of blood, his hemoglobin is 9.2, whites 4.4, platelets getting too high at 475 (like they always shoot up, he also has MPD, and it's very rare to have traits of both MDS and MPD).

I don't know if he can do another round of dacogen. But remember, he is almost twice your age. I see that are trung arsnep next week. We're praying for some good results. We're also praying for you and all those suffering. Fight on.
