Thanks for responding, Eve.
I don’t believe my dad’s doctor is very experienced dealing with patients with MF or MDS – and he has hinted to that fact on several occasions.
He did refer us to Dr. Fruchtman of Mt. Sinai Medical Center in NYC. Dr. Fruchtman is supposed to be an ‘expert’ in the field, but when we met with him some months ago, I was less than satisfied with his approach and his dismissive behavior.
In any case, thanks again for responding. We’ll see what his next BMB uncovers after which we may very well attempt some treatments on Vidaza…
Oh – you mentioned your dad has had 14 treatments… Is that 2 months worth? I was told that Vidaza is taken 7 times in 7 days each month.
Is that your dad’s schedule as well?
