Sad to say...

I just got word that I have transitioned to back to AML with blasts of 30-35%...
Not a surprise really, but so quick (since Jan) and scary nonetheless......nearing the end of the ride, I suppose......

ANY ideas where to go now, besides more induction chemo/bmt?

Have any of you been able to keep those #'s steady with any type of drug? ISeems to me at I've seen #'s of 50% reduced posted somewhere here, unless that was something else. Hope springs eternal, but I am not going to be chasing snake oil salesmen...
Sorry for the request of repeat info...I will be asking about Thalidomide and Revlimid, but just wondering and not sure what my little community center can do for me, when certain drugs are not AML approved....
To look at me, you'd never know..........
Thanks in advance for whatever guidance you have....cheri
