Thank you so much for your replies. As usual Greg you are a vast oasis of knowledge! My mother gets more bone marrow biopsies than anyone I have ever seen. She had at least 3 this year, this will be her 4th.
When you talk about achieving remission are we talking remission from AML and still having MDS? or do you get remission from the whole shebang? Chemo for AML is normally inpatient? I know absolutely nothing about treating AML, I guess I have to start learning...I always hoped we wouldn't cross this bridge. Sad thing is her BMB from the 10/28/10 showed 8% blasts in the bone marrow and everything looked stabile, now this weeks later.
