Father In Law Dx with AML

Hi all,

My father in law was Dx on Thursday with mds/aml. He is 72 and hasn't been feeling well the last few months. He is starting vidaza on Monday. During the past few weeks his performance status has dropped, color doesn't look good etc. I do not know his Ipss score yet, I presume he is in the high risk category.

His oncologist didn't give a prognosis nor did my mother in law and father in law ask. They are of the generation that doesn't as the doctor questions. My wife is going to the next appointment on Thursday.

I assume his prognosis is bad. What can we expect on vidaza? 3 months....6.....

What can expect on this terrible journey?

Thanks
