BMB
Patti, my BMB results were quite disappointing, as my Oncologist informed us that MDS is worsening, and the transfusions aren't raising my Red Cells and Platelets. Also, for the first time Blasts have shown up (5-10 per cent)
Current CBC numbers: WBC 0.8, HGB 8.0, PLT 15, ANC 0.2
I ask what is the next step, his response "I would try Revlimid, but you are not eligible as your Platelets are too low". I then searched articles about the drug, and here is what I found: Revlimid Trial In Leukemia Halted – No Immediate Impact On Drug’s Approved Use In MDS Expected - mdsbeacon July 19, 2012.
August 5th, I have an appointment with my MDS Specialist at Johns Hopkins, and hopefully he has magic.
Our Love and Prayers,
Dru and Bob MagicBob
