My Father aged 64 has recently been diagnosed with MDS RAEB-2 with 15%-18% blasts. No chromosomal abnormality. His siblings do not have the same HLA typing as my father. Right now he is under going ayurvedic treatment of Vaid Balendu Prakash, to which he has respondend very well. What are my other treatment possibilities. Can this be cured ?

MDS can be cured only with a bone marrow transplant or stem cell transplant, but attempting a cure is not necessarily the best choice, especially for patients in their 60s and older. Another choice is to live with MDS, using supportive care like transfusions or drugs that can slow or stop the progress of the disease. See the MDS page for more details.
