initially the doctor was talking about needing stem cell transplant, husband had 5 brothers and none were a match Now that he is having to resort to the National Registry She seems to think that he is a high risk for stem cell transplant and as long as the Leukine shots which he takes approximately every two weeks is keeping the blood levels up .This is what she wants to continue as long as it works. She talked about Vidaza but she advised that this was a more aggressive form of treatment and why make him sick if he is responding to the Leukine. My concern is how long will the Leukine continue to give good results I guess we can only pray that it continues to work Thanks Donna
