Karin early on your path
Hi Lori. It seems Karin (friend and mother of my kids) who is 52 is on a similar path. She recently had induction chemo at UNM Hospital for Acute Myeloid Leukemia that developed from MDS just when we thought we were going for a unrelated donor BMT at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio TX. 28 days from start of chemo is April 13th when a marrow biopsy is scheduled. Karin has had PNH for 26 years, severe AA since July 2013, low grade MDS for a while. Currently she is discouraged because neutrophils are not recovering and the hematologists are talking about needing 1000 neuts for a sensible marrow biopsy (to indicate < 5% blasts i.e. AML in remission). Karin concerned that BMT slipping further and further into future. Cannot see how a severe AA patient can muster 1000 neuts. Did you get your BMT (or SCT) even though you could not show AML in remission? Thanks and congrats on 4 years post BMT.
