Hi Alison,
How wonderful that Vidaza is working for your dad
!
I don´t know anything about drugs in South Africa but i US new drugs like Zolinza are approved and have shown results when Vidaza isn´t working any more.
It is very positive that your dad is young enough for stem cell transplantation. You can read about it here:

Your dad can´t have all subtypes of MDS
– ask his doctor how many percent blast cells your dad had in his last bone marrow punction.
Kind regards
