Very good info and advice, thank you.

I expressed my concerns to the doctor today about my dad's kidney function and suggested reducing the cyclosporine dosage. He agreed - starting today, we'll now take 300mg daily instead of 500mg. My dad is less than 110 pounds now (as opposed to 160 a few years ago). We're still taking 1000mg of exjade daily though.

Strangely enough, the doctor said today that my dad has a mix of myelodysplastic syndrome and aplastic anemia symptoms, so he can't really be classified into either category exclusively.
