Hi - Had my treatment today. I asked about the Dosage and my nurse said it is calculated according to height and weight. BMA - body mass average - I am 5'8" and (regretfully) 170 + pounds. My husband and I quit smoking in Feb then this happened, so the pounds came on. Anyway, my nurse said that I was dehydrated that is why I have been so dizzy. It has been very hot. I hope you both will do well. The only thing I know is that the blasts can continue to increase if the disease is still progressing. When does your husband start getting ready for the BMT? Please keep letting us know how things are going. I wish you both the best.
