Thank you Dan. I had two of the mutations (KRAS and SF3B1) from your list and had them (along with IKZF1) until transplant. Never saw them again after transplant except for a trace of SF3B1 which was temporary. My doctors were quite concerned about these mutations as well as the blasts.
The "marrow stress" you refer is also of interest for me. What causes "marrow stress"? Does it develop from short telomeres (I think so) during what I term as a "susceptibility crisis". My susceptibility crisis occurred during a lung fungal infection, very high levels of prednisone and diabetes II and was when I relapsed. Vidaza quickly remedied the situation it seems.
I hope you are continuing to do well. Nice to see your comments.
