Alyse,

Originally the doctors were talking about four cycles on Vidaza to give time to see a response. I will have another conversation about this when we get the results of my next BMB. I think they might be leaning toward going sooner to transplant if I am still feeling well. They started working on getting an unrelated donor almost immediately and found four good matches. They didn't put numbers on the matches, but seemed satisfied. All of this will become more clear with the biopsy results.

If the Vidaza doesn't work, I'm sure I will be going straight to transplant ... no other option. My numbers have remain stable during the first two cycles. So it will probably come down to the blast percentage.

I am still feeling normal, which is strange.

I am being treated at the Oregon Health Science University in Portland, OR.
