Oh, Patti, that is so wonderful. You and Dean definitely need to celebrate!!!!
Don't get too upset if the numbers drop at the low point of receiving the Dacogen though. I think it's called the nadir. At least that's the way it worked when Al was on the Vidaza. The numbers would drop but then would rebound. But his never bounced back like Dean's have. I am thrilled for y'all.
Wish I had better news to report. But I'm so tired tonight I can hardly type. Just got in from Moffitt about two hours ago. Will write a report tomorrow. Al's platelets are 7,000 so we have no good news to report. We'll know more when the results of the bone marrow biopsy he had today come back.
God bless you and Dean!
Hugs,
