Thank you joesmith for the message. The doctor did go ahead with the vidaza this week. My husbands anc was actually .3. His hgb and platelets are low, but not dangerously low at the present time. His transplant doctor (he had a transplant last Nov. that has relapsed) was reluctant to allow neupeogen shots to be given. It is my understanding that some researchers believe nuepogen also stimulates blast cells. However, he has now given the ok and he began those shots today.
I am sorry about your mother and the problem with the platelets. I have not heard of that before.
One thing that I think we have all learned from this disease is that everyone is different and reacts differently to drugs and treatments. That being said, we can all learn from one another and support one another. Thanks again.
