My dad is 73 and has RAEB. He gets transfusions every other week and has high iron. He is getting supportive care. The dr. says he will die before iron overload. It seems we should be doing more. They tried Vidaza/procrit for 3 months and dr. days it wasn't working. He has no pain just short of breath with stairs and exertion. Please give me some advice. His blood counts go from 9 down to 6.5 and his platelets stay at 16 white 1.5.
