to Maura R Mom diagnosed with Raeb 2

2013 husband was 79 y o with same diagnosis as your Mom. Really can't say what the blasts were. He had all three blood lines down to rock bottom. Oncologist started on Dacogen and following month switched to Vidaza. He was also getting blood transfusions. After a few months he was having much better quality of life. Please do not assume if your mom receives medication that it will effect QOL....it may be better. There is always the chance that it will not be successful but if you do not try you will not know.

Wishing you all Good Luck!!!
