My wife is on dacogen since november 2012, we have been getting 2 bags of blood per week for 3 months, we havent had any complications from transfussions yet from blood, platlets are a different story.You do what u do til you get a remission or what your on stops working and then you try somthing else, but supportive care works if your rbc is low or platelets, we are also on Amicor for platelets, we just ride out the low wbc, as far as dacogen, its controling the AML, and she is very high risk....we are happy about the results were getting.....Billy
