Its myelodysplastic syndrome. Its treatmentIis not 100% % successful. no chance of complete cure. You havd to maintain on sympathetic treatment. Like pcv, platelets etc. Chemotherapy is available but it has many side effects and less success. Risk benefit ratio is agsint that treatment. So its better ti maintenane on symptomatic treatment.
