So interesting. I am getting my treatment at Oregon Health Science University (OHSU) in Portland Oregon. The interesting part is how my situation seems to mirror Diver Down's. I will be getting a BMB on February 7th just before my 3rd round of Vidaza. The big decision will be to stick with the Vidaza as long as there is a response or go straight to transplant while I am feeling great and not showing any outward signs of MDS/AML. I am not sure there is an absolute correct answer. From everything I have read, the trend is now to go to transplant sooner, rather than later.
I am looking forward to see my blast count with the next BMB. The one study I have read suggests that a 12 percent blast count, or lower, is significant.
