Transplant
Hi Beryl, Just speaking from my experience with out the Vidaza I could have never had my transplant with 12% and advancing blasts. It took me down to undetectable blasts and gave me such good health I feel so blessed. When they found a 10/10 match i just could not wait around for the Vidaza effects to wear off. If they come up with a solid match I would go with it. They do all kinds of computer scenarios on the probabilities of your donor taking and mine was very good. Almost all unrelated donors get some GVH and they do want you to have a little. I also have 3 more bags of donor blood so if I ever have ever have problem they can boost me and my grafts are very strong. The most important thing is to go into the transplant positive and as healthy as possible!
