Scarlett O.,

Mine is a similar story, terrible cytogenics out of no where, I could have not gotten treatment, as my counts were rising on there own, and I'm quite young... But with my brother being a match, and three young daughters, I need a cure... Even with only two rounds of Dacogen I became symptomatically in remission...

With that being said, the preferred cure is SCT/BMT while your at your strongest... Like you I haven't gotten transfusions nor boosters, hopefully this will increase my chances at a perfect transplant (with my brothers bone marrow helping)....

Best of luck, and God bless you on your journey...
