Further it also shows the importance of a BMT in my case, sooner rather than later, as sbk007 points out, "(I) have everything going in (my)your favor" at this point...
@Whizbang, Where are you having the BMT? I see you are in NJ. The Docs don't care about the IPCC after treatment, they use the score taken @ diagnosis. Wish that wasn't so but it is what it is. My guess is that they're shooting for a stable disease. They must have seen a positive response to the Dacogen that they liked and you probably tolerated it well.
Take Care, Steve
