My mom is 68 and has aCML. She got 6 courses of azacitidine with many supportuve therapy including blood transfusions of erythrocytes and trombocythes, hydroxyurea etc.
Now (after 8 months when disease was diagnosed), physicians said the chemotherapy didn't react and she will no longer receive azacitidine.
Now she is receiving hydroxyurea and blood transfusions. She has lekucytosis, trombocythopenia and her hemoglobin isn't recovered automatically by her bone marrow.
She receives blood transfusions. Physicians have no idea what to do except for supportive care.
Please advise if you can what can we do to make her rest of the life longer and better quality, maybe any variants, any therapy possible?
Thank you

I never understood MDS. In MDS, you can have Blasts more than the normal 1 –2% correct? But not greater than 20% that would make it an acute leukemia. So how is MDS not chronic myelocytic leukemia that has less than 20% blasts?

I have MDS and it is killing me. It's likened to cancer of the bone marrow(not leukemia), and is incurable.
