    Wow, there are a lot of good suggestions for you. It certainly does sound like MDS but again, you need the Bone Marrow Biopsy before you’ll ever know for sure. Then again, agree to that he has to be mentally sound about wanting to know and trusting the Drs to find out. While BMB sounds bad, there is much that they can do about the pain. My father is having his 4th one on Monday with sedation. I’m surprised that he is open to Procrit. Does his Dr think that procrit is working? We get very tired of all the testing as well but unfortunately, we live in a world where malpractice is foremost on a Dr’s mind and they have to cover their bases. Keep us posted!
