Hi kris, my dad is being seen at the cleveland clinic. His doctor isn't very excited about a transplant, but leaves the decision to us. Dad had a tissue type screening, I believe that is what it's called, about a month ago. We are now waiting to see if there is a donor match. I was wondering what was given to your husband after the vidaza failed. My dad was on vidaza and revlimid simultaneousy for 2 years. He went into complete remission after 2 or 3 cycles, but now the disease is progressing. He now injects himself with a low dosage of cytarabine. I was wondering if you remember what your husband's blast percentage was in his bone marrow before he had the transplant done? Thank you!
