Some good news today!
Today was a day of good news. We met with my dad's hematologist today and my father also started his 3rd round of chemo (vidaza). Ever since the end of his 2nd round of chemo, his count have been going up. He hasn't gotten a transfusion in 4 weeks!
White blood cells
10/19- 2.0
10/26- 2.7
11/2- 3.0
Hb
10/19- 8.5
10/26-8.8
11/2-9.7
Platelets
10/19- 51
10/26- 98
11/2- 258 (in the normal range!)
Doctor said that this is all good news, but we will not know the actual affects of the chemo until they perform another bone marrow biopsy. We are staying hopeful though!
Also, my dad's 3 siblings were tested as possible matches about 2 1/2 weeks ago. His hematologist said that the results are not fully back yet, but from what he has heard from the BMT specialist, two of the three siblings seem to be very promising matches!! Can't wait to get the call from his bone marrow transplant nurse!!
