Big day for my mom today. She is starting her 5th round of Estybon (Onconova) as well as going for a bmb. I'm kind of nervous about the bmb. She started out on the trial with under 8% blast, but since she started the trial she has pretty much been transfusion dependent with platelets and rbc, although it's been 2 weeks since she needed any. Her platelets are stable between 23,000 and 28,000.
They will check her blood today before doing bmb, in case she needs platelets.
Please say a little prayer. I will keep you all posted. I know we are all hoping for a good turn out as this drug may be the answer to many of our prayers.
