My mother is 87 years old and 7 months ago she was diagnosed with MDS. Currently she has had 2 blood transfusions in the last 5 weeks. She is being treated with Aranesp and Neupogen. Her white cells were measured this week at 7.7, red cells at 3.41, hemoglobin at 8.9 and platelets at 69. She is tired and sleeps 18+ hours a day. I have offered other drugs to her doctor, but he always says "it's not applicable to her due to her general health condition. My mother's vitals are great. Looking for suggestions, drugs, insight that may better serve my mom.
Sincerely,
Concerned
