Wow Linda I am so very sorry!

My husband was just dig. in October 2008. He goes to Duke which is in your vinicity, he has a great hemotolgist, Dr. Castro. I may be misinformed but I think he specialize in mds.

My husband was really doing bad, in Nov., Dec., Jan. 2009, but after his 3rd treatment with dacogen his counts started going up! He just finished his 5th treatment in March, before the treatment all his counts were up except his white blood cell. The doctor seemed very surprised that this had happen. At this time there will be one more treatment next month which will make 6 of them, if counts are still doing good, then we will go from there! He has been doing the dacogen one week on 3 weeks off.

So since this is our first time with the dacogen not sure what the end results will be.

Will keep you in our prayers, lol luv.
