dacogen or not????

My dad 72, tried vidaza 4 cycles and it didn't work. We are just on supportive care now and he recievies 2 pts blood every two weeks. Doctor mention Dacogen today but she doesn't really recommend it. I have read side effects. My dad's hmb 8 pltlts 33 white 1.5. He maintains blood count at 8 or 7.8. His pltls ae coming up slowly. What should we do? He has had about 35 transfusions and I know iron overload is coming soon. He says he feels good just gets short of breathe. Do we go to a doctor that has tried dacogen. Our current dr. isn't using it. ????
