Hi Birgitta-A,

We went to Mayo Clinic in AZ and they recommended transplant but Bob and his local Dr. weren't as convinced so we tried the Vidaza first. The local Dr. said 6 cycles and then a BMB to decide the next step. Bob just wasn't sure a transplant is worth the risk if the Vidaza was working or there were other options. Mayo did say the Vidaza would be a good bridge if he decided to go forward. There are just so many decisions and we are afraid to make the wrong ones. I'm glad you are all here willing to help!
