MDS

Hi Jordan!
As Dan wrote your father could receive EPO-drugs like Aranesp for HGB, Neupogen or similar drugs for his low WBC and Promacta (not yet approved for MDS) or platelet txs for his low platelets.

Then there are several clinical trials for patients like your father. Look at

Here are the latest results for SGI-110 and Rigosertib
