Walking the line between staying informed while not wanting to get bummed out can be difficult, hoping that the Dacogen worked well enough and that there is improvement in your latest BMB. If so, what about a lower dose???

Still waiting for the scan, if that looks OK then we'll go home tomorrow. They started Neupogen shots last week to boost his WBC to help fight any infection, they did work wonders on his count. The WBC was over 9 yesterday and the ANC was over 5. Hemoglobin was still lagging, but platelets have climbed steadily for the past week, well over 100 yesterday. We'll see what today brings.

Hopefully you had a good weekend
