You started the same time as my husband, his third cycle starts on 7/19 and he had his two month BMB today, waiting for results. His first BMB done locally (end of April) showed excess blasts, their reading was 10% and then Sloan looked at the slides and said 15%, the BMB done before treatment at Sloan the third week of May showed 13%. His initial hemoglobin in April was 6.6, today it was 11, and the doctor feels that the treatmet is working.

He is fortunate to work from home so he can alter his hours a little to accomodate for excess fatique, but in a another post I read that you are receiving 40 mg, he receives 20 mg each day for five days??? They are looking to do a transplant within the next few months, we'll see what today's BMB shows and I'll post the results later the week.

We should definitely keep in touch
