WoW Cheri, What a roller coaster......... Is this trial you may or may not be doing w/ Dr. Straier? I'm just curious.
Always do what is best for you, and if waiting is best, then so be it.
The trial my mom is on has improved her bone marrow thus far. 2% blast, so far not at risk for AML. Her most recent bmb was yesterday (monday 8/8/11), I will let you all know the results when we have them. She has been transfusion dependent but they put her on this blood thickening drug which has helped her hemoglobin stabilize in the 10's.
In December the dr. told gave me a "not so good" report and so far she has beat the odds. So keep the faith and do what is best for you!! I will tell you that when my mom started the trial she felt great and she was strong. So I do believe trying a drug when your well has its benefits.
All the best always, please keep us posted.
Paula
