Get a new Hemotologist/Oncologist!!!
Your doc sounds like a total mess. Your dad should have a CBC at least each week. His levels should NEVER be where they were if the doc knows, or is paying any attention at all. I've gone to three docs, one said I had MDS, the next said NO, and the third more or less agree with the first. I checked each docs background, Florida and most states have a professional license database, and was able to find the one with the best overall credentials. I selected him, and I'm just finishing my 3rd session of Vidaza. Had a total of three 2 bag blood transfusions in the first, and the beginning of the second. Hemoglobin now is 9.9, was 10.00, and 10:01. If I go below 8.0, he orders a transfusion.
Anyway, please see if you can find another doc, or at least another opinion on the treatment and diagnosis on your dad. There actually are some docs who know, and more impotently care about their patients.
