Different treatments for high risk MDS

[stayinghopeful]

I was reading through the MDS information page provided by this website and came across the various treatment options. I didn't realize that different drugs were used for people of high risk.

I read that the following can be used as treatment option for high risk MDS patients: Cytarabine, Hydroxyurea, Daunorubicin, Idarubicin, and Mitoxantrone.

Has anyone been treated with these or have heard about their effectiveness?

My dad is currently on Vidaza and is in the high risk group.

Thanks

hello,
My Mom will be in Vidaza too and will like to ask you, how your Dad is doing with the medication, does he has a lot of side effect?
My Mom is on the High Risk group to.
