Hi Sarah, how long has your dad been having his treatment? Has he had another biopsy to see if it is having any effect? For example,has his blast count decreased? Has any cytogenetic changes improved etc .. I was told that a BMB was really the only way they could tell if chemo was being beneficial?Also chemo can take months before it starts improving things.. good luck with your quest.. there are many more knowledgeable people here than me but they are some of the initial questions that come to mind. Sorry if u answered these questions elsewhere.Sharnie.
