Blast cells in the blood

Hi Billy,
My doctor has told me that almost all patients with leukemia or similar diseases have blast cells in peripheral blood. If they are more than 1% the disease is getting more aggressive. I think you are right when you suspect that Decitabine has less effect.

Patients that have been treated with Vidaza or Decitabine should look for clinical trials with new drugs if Vidaza/Decitabine not are working.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
