Low platelets

Hi ececim,
As far as I understand they have quite advanced MDS research in Istanbul. Has your mother had contact with a MDS specialist?

There are no drugs for low platelets approved for MDS patients but a patient with RAEB-2 ought to have more active treatment than blood transfusions like for example Vidaza.
Kind regards
