Hi All,

We got my moms bone marrow results today and the results were very good. Her blasts are at a 2% . She is still considered low risk MDS and at this point, not at risk for leukemia. Her blood levels have not improved as of yet. The Dr. wants her to remain in the Onconova "estybon" at this time. If her numbers don't improve, she would like to try another drug. I don't know what drug it will be.

She has been blood transfusion & platelet transfusion dependent since on the Onconova. Her doctor insists that it's not from the drug, but from the MDS itself. I will keep you posted...........

Paula
