Hi Roger,

I'm probably not the best person to answer this but, I think my haematologist said that if or when I decide to try the 6 cycles of Vidaza and it doesn't work then it would be time for BMT.

This doesn't mean it is the usual protocol because I have learnt that there is no "usual" with this disease. I think it depends on a lot of factors including transfusion tolerence, blast %, risk of transformation etc.

Good luck with your results. Please post them when you get them, they will help with the decisions I have to make as well.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
