Hopefully I will be able to stay home until my STC, which now looks to be in 3 weeks. I think there is more of an urgency now since my neutrophils are zero and I keep getting sick.
Only had 2 rounds of Vidaza, which just managed to destroy the few neutrophils I had left. They will do no more. Will get chemo for a week at City of Hope before the SCT. Hopefully I will be completely well by then.

Thats great that you are home and they are moving quickly to the transplant. Have they done a bone marrow biopsy to make sure you are in remission? My dad had one last week after 3 cycles and showed improvement but not exactly what Dr. M wanted to see. Dysplasia is still seen in all 3 lines.
