Arsenic?
My 79 year old mom was diagnosed with RAEB-2 MDS in November of 2009. She has been through Vidaza, Dacogen and a revlimid study with no luck. She is tranfusion dependent (Every two weeks, like clockwork) and now her platelets are low and her WBC is elevated. We are waiting for her latest biopsy results. Her doc expects this one to show some disease progression. She is reccomending Arsenic with thalidomide and Ascorbic acid. There are a few studies with 25 to 30% remission rates. Has anyone had any experience with this treatment. I am mostly wondering if there are potential side affects and if they are worth it
