Find a specialist: Mds, as it is called, is serious disorder of blood formation in the bone marrow. It comes in several forms of severity. There are treatments using chemotherapy with different drugs like azacitidine, revlimid(only for one subtype)and decitabine. But the decision about when to treat and which drugs, is made by a hematologist who has experience in treating mds. Consider going to a known cancer centr.
