Hi, I'm Irum
My Dad is 65yrs of age and he has been diagnosed for MDS about 3 months back. He was having low blood counts for last 2 years almost and at that time the doctors diagnosed it as a reason of tapeworm. But now after his Bone marrow Aspiration test he has been diagnosed of MDS. his blasts were minimal and the doctor said that its very early stage and nothing to worry coz we'll just monitor first for few months or may be a year or 2 and then depending on condition we can jump to medicines.

I'm worried about my dad coz at start his blood counts were ok and stabled his hgl was 10.5 and remained around 10.. but since last two months his counts dropped immediately to hg 6.5 Wbc 1.98 and platelets to 65000. So the doctor started giving him Eprex(Erythropoetien) Injections on alternate days and he got transfusions as well. Also taking Eprex and transfussions his blood counts are still dropping....??? i Dont know why??? his last count was taken yesterday where his hg 5.4, wbc also low but platelets at 100000.
Now i'm confused that is his disease is converting into AML or Autoimmune or pure red cell anemia??????
Can anyone of you help me with this???
