Ipss-r

tytd,

Thanks for the link, it shows the importance of getting my blasts in the 0-2% range; if I input my 7/30 numbers into the (IPSS-R) calculator, I am classified as 'High Risk', but lowering my blasts to 2% would get me to the 'Intermediate' category...

Further it also shows the importance of a BMT in my case, sooner rather than later, as sbk007 points out, "(I) have everything going in (my)your favor" at this point...
