Newly Diagnosed Parent

Hi all, Im new to the forum and hope someone can help. My father just spent 14 days in the hospital and was diagnosed with MDS. They took bone marrow biopsy and there is no conclusion as to what category he fits in. He is transfusion dependent every 4-5 days for platelets and every 5-10 days for RBC. No other medication is being administered at this point. My question is what is normal for transfusions, I know people are different but what my father is going thru seems like a lot to me. He is not a candidate for bone marrow transplant (edited). Can anyone shed any light?

Thanks
