Greg,

She hasn't had any bleeding since that day. I spoke w/ my brother and my father and we decided to see if it happens again before putting her through any thing else. Just don't want to put more on her at this time. What if it is something serious???? then what??? considering the time line her oncologist gave her, do I want to put her through anymore worry or hell????? Don't know the right answer, just going w/ my gut at this time.

She went to trial dr. yesterday to start her 3rd round. Her hb is at 11.5, which is probably due to the transfusion. Her platelets dropped to 29,000 from 35,000. Dr. suggested a platelet transfusion just to see if it would hold. She will probably do that after this onconova round.

I'm trying to keep positive, but we really don't have any signs that the trial is working yet, maybe to early to tell.

Thanks for your continued support.

Paula
