question: My dad has MDS, he had a tranfusion last thursdaym a fever on friday and has been on antibiotics since. The Dr said today they might send him home tomorrow or friday. Now, yesterday the dr said he would NOT go home until the white count was above 500. Now they say he may never have white cells again. Are they sending him home to die? Can a 76 yo male who had emphyzma and COPD, with active MDS for 3 yrs do this!
