I am curious if this drug can be used for MDS in transformation or AML. Dr. Raza (she is a research specialist for MDS) is the doctor that is recommending we move forward with this protocol even with the latest curve ball that has been thrown our way. Her hem/onc is a very big leukemia doctor who also deals with a lot of MDS (both doctors kind of work together consulting each other) he feels we should move forward with tried and true Induction Therapy. Is this drug used for AML? Would you go that route or go with the standard drugs.

I can't help but feel if we would have had the port put in sooner and got moving on this quicker maybe we wouldn't be where we are right now. I can't beleive how fast this disease turns on a dime.
