Hi Birgitta - Yes the ANC number was wrong

ANC - it should have been .53! At least I know you read the message

The hemoglobin and sometimes platelets (they were up to 293 at one point) improved more than the WBC and maybe that is what I was missing??? His WBC and ANC did increase on Monday, but they never did reach a "new high" after starting treatment. The doctor said it is almost as if the decitabine was working on some level which was good, just not good enough.

He will be admitted to Sloan on Monday for the induction therapy and then hopefully a few weeks or a month later to transplant if all goes well.

Science and math we never strong subjects for me so it is challenging to try and make sense of all this information.

You're welcome and thanks again for your insights.

Best regards,

Debbie
