update on the back pain
the mds dr. just kept increasing the pain meds so we made an appointment with a orthopedatic dr. and he dx avascular necrosis in both hips and worse in the right and recommended a totl hip replacement in the right (total) of course he cant have that now he hasnt had any vidaza since the end of feb. 09 b//c his counts are too low she switched him from peocrit to aransep and said he wasnt responding transfusions every 2 weeks now neupogen is not helping with the white count. last mon. his counts were 8.4 so he got blood his white was 2 and platletts were 37 she has made him an appointment with H.Lee Moffit cancer center in tampa fl. for the 27th of this month he is using a wheelchair now b/c of the hip his words are hes screwed. he is depressed b/ of the pain and being completely homebound except for doctors we will see her agin Monday for bloodwork we hope whwn he goes to tampa they will have some fresh ideas thanks for letting me vent
