Hi Suzanne,
I don´t think your mothers MDS is totally out of control only because her HGB and WBC count are low. Both these symptoms can be treated
. If Aranesp doesn´t have effect she could have transfusions with packed red blood cells and if her WBC:s are low she could have Neupogen or a similar drug.
Ask for all results and write the figures down. What is her WBC count? The very important white blood cells called neutrophils are often about 60 % of the WBC:s. If the neutrophils are very low your mother has to be very careful and avoid all kinds of infections.
Kind regards
