I'm new to this list. I had a bmt in July and had week long treatments of vidaza in sept. and Oct. but they were then stopped because tests on cells from Oct. 17th biopsy showed that 3 cells of 20 showed abnormalities in chromosomes. My doctor told me this on Dec. 3rd and I was given more of my brother's stem fa cells on that day with the hope that I would acquire enough graft host disease that they would kill of my defective cells. I go back to the doctor tomorrow. So far, I haven't noticed any sign of rash or any other sign of a reaction. My doctor at U.Iowa has told me that if my brother's cells don't kill off the defective cells then my cancer will return.
I've been reading about estybon and would like to know how I could get into one of the clinical trials. I would also appreciate any other info. regarding my condition and what to expect and what to do.

Thank you,
Richard
