Tomorrow is my dads 2nd consultation

Hello everyone,
My name is Bob, I have been reading on this forum for the past few weeks, and have learned alot. My father (61) was diagnosed with MDS intermediate 2. Last week he had his first consultation, and at first the doctor was leaning towards a pretty harsh treatment... (at the moment i can not really recall the name of it).
After his initial blood work, later that day the doctor was more positive. He mentioned that there were a high number of mature cells on his first inspection and if the microscopic analysis matches, then he could be a candidate for Vidaza.

I apologize if i have not used the proper terminology i am trying to retain as much as i can as the doctor talks but i find it hard some times and forget.

In the coming weeks... months what am i to expect??
Is there anything i should be asking the doctor during visits?
anything i should be keeping track of?
Is there anything i can do to help my dad??

I feel powerless to do anything so any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Bob
