Hi all

Thanks for responding Meri and Marlene.

Waiting for bone marrow biopsy results now. My counts last week were Hb 92, platelets 5, neuts 0.1 and WCC 0.9. I feel surprisingly well considering. I still walk every day. My blasts were up to 30% when the AML came back, but last week had dropped a bit. I've started needing regular transfusions.

I've been taking papaya leaf extract along with my other usual natural medicines but I must confess I've taken a break from my Vitamin D lately. My options will depend on the results of my latest biopsy, which I expect to receive next Wednesday afternoon (Aussie time).

I do so want to see my grandchildren (youngest 11) grow up, but I know that God is with me regardless and I'm totally trusting Him for the final outcome.

All the best everyone!
