Patient
I am a 77 year old male ( almost 78) and was diagnosed with MDS with rings and a 5q variant. I had received a transfusion for a colon operation last August. The operation went well, and I recovered but was then told to see a Hemotologist/Oncologist, and was diagnosed with MDS. I tried all treatments including 5-6 weeks of Vidaza. Nothing has worked and I am currently transfusion dependent. I was recently reading about Ojjaara, and was wondering? Or any other suggestions would be appreciated. I am wary of a Stem Cell Transplant at my age. Any thoughts about Ojjaara or anything else?
