Hi Christine

Sounds as if it will be a similar course. Daunorubicin and Ara-C is what they are saying, did the induction therapy bring his counts down from 30% to 2%. I just read through the suggested items and have included some of them for when we leave next week. Our doc says the same thing, first fight the disease with the induction therapy (under 5%) and then then kill off the balance right before transplant.

It does help and thanks for the reply, please let us know how your husband is doing and best of luck.

Debbie
