Hi Cheri,
Last year my blasts went from <5% to excess blasts 5-10% (sorry don't know numbers) while I was on Vidaza. My doctor was concerned but hoped that the increase was because he took the BMB just at the time when the marrow was regenerating before the next Vidaza cycle was due. It turns out my next BMB taken after withholding the Vidaza was even higher so in my case it wasn't bone marrow regeneration but it stuck in my mind that the blasts can increase at certain times in the Vidaza cycle.
I noticed you had Vidaza until May and your high blast BMB was taken in June. Was it taken just before your next Vidaza cycle was due? Maybe the combination of marrow regeneration and Neupogen?
I really haven't a clue but thought I'd share what my doctor told me.
Regards
