Hi Mseth,
I don't think your mother's doctor has more practical experience than for example professor Hellström Lindberg who has been working with MDS patients during many years.

You could tell him that he could increase his MDS treating experience and give the EPO + Neupogen (or a similar drug) a chance.
Kind regards
