I just got back from my appointment.
1) The immature granulocytes generally do mirror the blasts. In my case the immature granulocytes are now in the normal range at 0.3 while the blasts are at 33% (AML). And, I have the 9;22 (Philadelphia chromosome).
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?
