Hello Len, The itching did not resolve with the discontinuation of the Retacrit, so we then stopped The prophylactic Bactrim and it seemed to relieve it a little, still really bad at night so we are still trying to figure it out. Living on Benadryl. But, onc decided to continue Vidaza at half dose with .6 neutrophils and I resumed the Retacrit because, for the first time since Dx, my hemoglobin went to 9.2 and stayed there for two weeks. I wasn’t sure about the Retacrit either, but onc thinks it is working. I am hoping for fewer transfusions, I have only had 5 and am tired of that already. I read a little about a chimeric transplant, but would love to hear what your specialist has to say about it. Hope it is something that will work for you.
