Latest BMB
Hi Steve,
Your BMB sounded good, flowcytometry sometimes seems more accurate, eliminates human error.
I had a BMB on 10/6/09, the results were not good. Blasts now at 36%-flow, 40%-manual.
This was very surprising since my blood counts have been going up since 7/6. The bone marrow cellularity had increased to 30%, almost normal, it was as low as 10-15%.
We started Dacogen on a low dose, one day/week trial. I will stay on the thalidomide and Promacta to see what happens. The last Dacogen was on 5/20/09, the blasts on 5/6/09 were 17%.
I'll keep you informed of my CBC progress using the Dacogen.
I'm feeling fairly good, the same as during the past 8 weeks when my blood counts improved.
