Vidaza Treatment

Updated

Dears,
My father is suffering from Hemolitic anemia and MDS. he is 70 years old. he has been on Vidaza treatmnet for 3 months (3 cycles achived). the only improvement he showed is that he didnt need for the past month only, any blood or paletets. but the paletets count did not increase. my quetion is shall we proceed with Vidaza treatment for 6 or 9 months as i read on several websites? or since he didnt show any improvements means he is not responding to Vidaza and shall be stopped? please advise.. and if any other alternative please advise also.
thank you
Regards

the doctor advise was to stop Vidaza however i insisted to continue since i have been reading that the min timeframe treatment should be 6 months. no we have completed 6 cycles, the blood counts and teh platelets are showing a slight increase without needing any transufions. i have alsoo decided to go with the treatment further. any other advice?
thx
