I am looking for information for a 70 year old JW frend, diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndromes. Any information to assist him with non-blood therapy would be appreciated.

Here is a little information on MDS. Hope this helps with your research....:

If you did not already check, the No Blood site has some information about MDS at this link: Drug could cut anemia blood tranfusions

From there, I just posted a press release about a new drug that is called Revimid which is currently being evaluated in clinical trials. Perhaps a trial is being held in his/her location?

Also, there is more information on this disease at this site http://www.lrf.org.uk/en/1/infdispatmye.html under the heading SUPPORTIVE CARE it speaks of EPO and G-CSF care.
