Thanks for your reply

We appreciated your support and encouragement and the new information you gave us. For now, my husband decided to postpone the chemo that the doctor said he could start this month, watching the weekly white blood and platelet cell counts and hoping they will hold or climb - getting red blood cell transfusions as needed, which has been about every 5 weeks. The big question that we ask ourselves, and won't know until he has another bone marrow is - what are the blasts doing while we are not looking at them? Reading the forum and everything else I can, I still feel uneasy about missing something important that could make a big difference in my husband's future. Our doctor wants to stick to 7 days of Vidaza per 28 cycle - didn't seem to be aware of info to validate change to 5. Do you have a resource that recommends 5 day administration? If so, please share with us. Five sounds a lot better than seven when you are on the receiving end of the needles. Thank you.
