Sorry to hear that Bailie! I went through induction chemo and whilst this was not after a transplant, I was transfusion dependent & had progressed after months of vidaza. I actually had little side effects from the chemo but had numerous fevers from having no neuts. However I was 20 years younger. It is a tough decision & I don't know the answer for you. However I agree with Dan.. He has said it well. One other question though, is vidaza not an option? You seemed to have good success with it last time? I know your blast count is high but I think I recall others using this, if a transplant / chemo wasn't an option.
