Hello all,

My dad was diagnosed about 4 years ago with MDS at the age of 81. I believe at the time he had a deleted chromosome 5 and a monosomy 7. The diagnoses was not good... they estimated he had about 10 months to live.

He has been on Vidaza for almost 4 years and its been great up until the last 6 months. His counts are not rebounding and he's had to get platelet transfusions. The platelets have been as low as 11 and are at about 20 now and not coming back up.

The Doctor is saying we are going to stop Vidaza but no plan B was mentioned. Are there any other drugs he can take or anything else we can do?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Mark
