Although i know that it was inevitable at some point, still comes as a surprise when you are handed the sheet of paper saying that it is no longer watch and wait, especially after 3.5 years (almost textbook for median evolution).

I will be going to have mine on 1/09 - they found a 10 out of 10 match for me. I was shocked - it can happen. Do you have family? I have already done the Vidaza and Decodron route - I too have to rid the blasts before transplant or no use doing it. I am not sure which chemo will be use but that is what I will get. What at your blasts at may I ask?? Don't give up - have faith - this site has all kinds of wonderful people that will help give you support and advise. Take care and god bless.
