Bailie needs suggestions

I have some very important decisions coming up. If anyone has suggestions from their experience or experience of others I would be very appreciative. I have had a pretty good experience (if that is possible) the last 16 months. My counts have been close to normal for most of the time and have needed only one transfusion (at SCT time) during the entire period. The "good times" have come to an end and suggestions of how to proceed will be appreciated.

My Dr. called tonight and my blast count jumped to 33 percent. We all know what that means. Big decision will be to have inpatient high dose Flag-Ida or let this play out to the end. Is the risk - reward of the chemo worth it? I don't know that I would like to spend the rest of my life getting treatment in the hospital.
