My dad's MDS progressed to AMl about a year and a half ago. He was told he had 30 days to live. 18 months later he is still fighting. He was hospitalized for pnemonia aobut 5 months ago and again they told him there was little hope of any treatment working and he probably wouldn't be around for the holidays. Well, he is still with us and still doing fairly well. He has opted for chemo and just finished his 4th round. I have learned that doctors are human, this disease is unpredictable and some people have an amazing desire to live. Hopefully your dad will find that desire and fight a little longer. Everyone responds so differently with this disease, but hopefully you will be given the gift of more time with you dad, as I have been given.
