Hi Everyone,
Was doing fine on Vidaza however no neutrophils and very low WBC for a couple of months. Bang I came down with an E.Coli blood borne infection followed by fungal pneumonia. What a ride physically and emotionally. Here I am a month later still on anti-fungal meds feeling much better.

My haemotologist however, has suspended Vidaza till at least the end of this month to allow me to rebuild. Blessings as have been away from home for 4 months and the return is so sweet. Blood count numbers seem to be stabilizing although on the low side.

Plan presented is umbilical cord stem cell transplant in early fall. Unrelated donor match 9/10 but he is thinking the cord transplant match seems like a better possibility. They are currently doing the genetic testing.

Anyone on this forum had a cord SCT?
