Finshed 4 cycles of TLK199
I am being treated at Moffitt and was one of 14 left in the TLK199 trial. Many of them dropped out due to side effects e.g. difficulty in taking the pills, I only experience severe side effects in the 3rd cycle (nausea, vomiting, etc). Just did my 3rd Bone Marrow biopsy and will get results next week. Thisweek, red cells moved up to 12, white cells to 10.03 and platelets to 22. Hopefully, the 9% blasts will not increase. So next week, I will have to make decision to stay in TLK199 trial, enter another trial, go on vidaza or dacogen????? I am currently at Intermediate level 1.
