Jordan,
If Vidaza has not been successful, the next options typically go to clinical trials and supportive care, which might include drugs to help stimulate red blood cell (Erythropoietin) platelets (TPO), and white blood cell production (neupogen), as well as prophylactic antibiotics. If you haven't already been working with a specialist in MDS, you may want to seek out an MDS center of excellence to seek other treatment options for your father.
