sbk007,
It's a matter of chicken or the egg... Did I get the boils because of my low WBC's, or did the infection help bring down my WBC's... Probably a combination of both... But the dr. did say they would have to postpone my 2nd round if the infection didn't go away... He said he wasn't as concerned with the low WBC counts, since that is what Dacogen does...

I had a rash and a few blisters but it was gone in a week and I don't think it was MDS related. Keep in mind we do get ailments that we would have had MDS or not. Hope that's the case and the boils go away. Hang in there.
Stay Well, Steve
