Hello
I am new to this site. My Mum will be 88 this year and has MDS, she was diagnosed 4/07. She has been having transfusions and Aranesp injections but this past week the oncologist stopped the injections as they were not helping. Now she is having labs every other week and transfusions as needed. In the beginning the MD talked about Vidaza but now he is not. My mother has many other issues and because of a complicated illiostomy, she is not able to be nausea without getting very sick. So far her medical costs have been covered by Medicare, her secondary insurance has not had to pay yet. I was wondering if the insurance companies stop paying ( they seem to have a lot of rules about elders) but was afraid to ask the question.
