Unsure

Hello Scot

Yes my platelets are increasing. I haven't needed a transfusion since January 25th 2013. They rose from a 7 to a 17. My hemoglobin and blood are still dropping. So are my white cells. I just needed two packages of blood this weekend. I decided that April 8th will mark the 6th month and that I should schedule a transplant. I have two unrelated 10/10 donors. I don't know what to do. I just know that the only real cure for this disease is a bone marrow as far as I hear. I am 38 and may not have the same coverage or opportunity since I am 38 and have coverage through work. That may end in September so I am not sure what to do.
