I would guess that if you stopped the Dacogen your numbers would quickly reverse to the MDS numbers. What is the strategy for when the Dacogen stops working?
The transplant doctor said since I was responding so well to Dacogen,with no transfusions or problems, he was taking that option off the table unless I had a problem down the line and got worse. I did have 2 donors. I would like to take a break from the chemo but not if it means putting my health in jeopardy.
Thanks for your feedback.
