The switch in treatments could be due to the aml, just ask your doctor why he / she switched you, maybe they wernt seeing a fast or big enough improvement in the aml and felt decitabine would work better in your case, you have to remember what works for someone else might not nessessalry work good for you and vise versa, we look at certain things during treatment while our medical team looks at the whole picture and its a whole lot bigger than blood counts and blasts. What subtype of aml do you have ? Treatments will tear down the body in hopes to help rebuild down the road, not to mention the rountien of going to and from appointments ect..Stay Stong..... we are with you
