I was on wait and watch from 2008 to 2016 with quarterly blood tests for MDS. When numbers started to drop they put me on bi-monthly shots of Darbepoitin Alfa to try to fake the bone marrow into making more red blood cells. 11 months with zero help. This past February it changed to CMML, Chronic Myelomoncytic Leukemia and I am now starting my seventh cycle of Vidaza, now my HCT is at 28.2 and my HGB is at 8.9 with Absolute Neutrophil Count at .9, so the numbers are not getting any better, but thank the Lord, not getting any worse either. I just take it One Day At A Time.
