Dear Gayle,
My husband (also Bob) was diagnosed 18 months ago with 19% blasts. He was on Vidaza for a year, and now just about to start 2nd round of Dacogen. His counts are not as bad as your Bob's, but the Doc said we might see some improvement after 3 rounds.
I wonder if your Doc's had considered a BMT since his blast count is low.
My Bob is at 20% now, he was lower last summer and fall. So now the docs want to do a BMT and are using Dacogen as an agressive treatment to get his blasts down to at least 5%.
Sorry I don't have any answers for you.
