2) I just finished my 1st cycle of Vidaza and they will start me on a tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the 9;22 as soon as they get approval from insurance.
3) I will have another BMB just before the next Vidaza cycle in three weeks.
4) If blasts are increased I will go into hospital for the 30 day Flag-Ida chemo and a DLI. If blasts are decreased then we will continue the Vidaza and another BMB.
Does that sound like fun, or what?

Hi Ballie - No it is definitely not fun but please stay strong. You did so well with your SCT and it is such an utter shame that the disease would relapse and with such high blasts. I hope the Vidaza works well for you. You are in my prayers. Keep us posted.
