Hang in there Steve

Hi Steve,
Sorry the Onconova doesn't seem to be working.
One patient in Chicago area reported that Sapacitabine seems to have lower side effects, it is an oral drug in clinical trials. Do you think you could try it?

I've had good results with low dose Dacogen (decitabine), you might contact
Saunthararajah, Yogen, at the Cleveland Clinic about suggested dosages.

Keep a positive attitude, you are a long term survivor and we all appreciate your encouragement and record in battling MDS/AML.
