Mitch, I am curious why a stem cell transplant was not considered while you were at optimum levels in your blood counts? Was it because of low blast counts at the time?

I guess it could come down to different medical philosophies. My doctors knew that a stem cell transplant "was in the cards" for me when I was first diagnosed. We did Vidaza until counts were optimum and I was feeling good and then aggressively headed toward transplant. It was a very good call for me.
