    My husband was diagnosed 7 years ago with low risk MDS. He was given Vidaza and it worked for a few months only. He received transfusions for years and was able to maintain a quality life until 2 years ago. His transfusions got more frequent and then he went on Revlimid and it was a miracle drug for him. He was able to tolerate it and had no transfusions for over 2 years. His HMG stayed between 11 and 12. He does not have 5Q deletion but yet the drug worked good. I hope the drug works for you.
