thanks for the replies. I met with my fathers doctors when I went home to visit last week. Not a lot to update on other than they are considering treatment with Vidaza, possibly next week. He was hospitalized early this week after a syncope-like episode. He apparently now has elevated liver counts and possible spleen enlargement. I am presuming that this is due to iron toxicity, but that has not been confirmed. His doc is advising against treatment with Vidaza and just to give supportive or no care. From what i have read, Vidaza is indicated for high risk MDS, but does anyone have experience with how well or not this drug is tolerated by a debilitated patient? I may post this as a general question too in case someone is lurking but doesn't look at my original post.
