My husband was scheduled to begin pretesting for a 2 or 3 cord transplant at the Univ. of MN next Monday. We got the results of his bmb today. It showed his blasts are now between 15 - 20%! Protocol says they have to be at 5% or below. He has been on Revlimid. We are waiting to see what they want to do next. I am guessing it will be azacitidine or decitabine. I am hopeful we can do one cycle and then another bmb and on to transplant. We are very afraid that we have missed our window of opportunity. We had specifically asked the dr.s about using the Revlimid with high risk MDS. He has major chromosome damage also. They told us they thought it was the best new drug out there! Now I am reading that we should have probably never used it, but insisted on trying one of the previously mentioned drugs first! Any experience with a similar situation? Thanks
