Delay in Vidasa treatment (Second cycle)

Well I came back down to Brisbane last Sunday with the idea of starting Vidasa the next day. I had a blood test then waited a long time before anyone came for me. Dr F's receptionist came and said he wanted to see me. He was concerned that all my blood counts were still very low so didn't want to start Vidasa. On Tuesday I had a BMB and a bag of platelets ( which went down to 26 ) and 2 units of PRBC and stayed the night in hospital and had another 2 units of PRBC the next day. I had an appt with Dr F on Thursday afternoon. The BMB report showed (I think) scar tissue in the bone marrow. Blasts weren't too bad. Anyway we decided to wait until Monday when I'll have another blood test and see if I start the Vidasa or come back in a week or two .
