Hi Neil - The treatment plan was based just one one blood test and the previous biopsy - also in part, on the return of skin nodules that I used to get prior to the transplant - Its preliminary at this point - but they started seeking insurance approval and trying to find out if the donor is available for a DLI.

I had another BMB last week and I expect to get results this week - and I'll be having a new blood test tomorrow - they also biopsied the skin nodules. We won't start doing anything - other than lowering immune suppressing drugs - until we get a little more information. I'll let you know what the new biopsies and blood work shows - Based on those results, its possible we come up with a different plan or maybe not do anything at all. It'd be nice if I just ended up getting off immune suppressants more quickly than previously planned!

We'd discussed using AZA as a maintenance therapy all along, so I'm wondering if that might be a good idea even if the blood tests are better and the BMB is no worse. Any thoughts in that regard? Otherwise I'll let you know what happens when I get the test results.

Thanks
Paul
