Well, dad got his BMB results and unfortunately the news was not good.
My mother told me that, the doctor felt as if the Vidaza and Dacogen had not done anything to improve his numbers. His blasts are PB 20% and BM 23%, platlets 11. He has now transitioned to
AML and there will not be any more treatments.
They will continue with blood and platelet transfusions as needed and continue to monitor his iron counts. The doctor stated that he doesn't think that he will "be around" when the need arises for iron chelation therapy. I appreciate the fact that the doctor doesn't give them false hope but, I think that you do need to give
some hope.
I feel that dad probably had MDS for quite some time before he was diagnosed because his transition was far too rapid. Has anyone else seen it move this fast?
