my father diagnosed with aplastic anaemia

Hello - My father has just been diagnosed with aplastic anaemia, through a bone marrow biopsy. He's being given predinsone, which I've read isn't really an effective treatment. I suppose I'm just thinking that maybe they are trying to prop him up a bit until he dies. I just don't know how long he may have. Feeling pretty low. By the way, he's 85 and has had diabetes since he was 12. If anyone is able to advise me in some way, even in the absence of a full clinical profile, I'd be very grateful - even if the news is harsh.

Many thanks

Paul
