Hey everyone:

Well went to Moffitt last week. Ended up in hospital, threw a 103.6 temp. during blood transfusion on tuesday. they admitted me. Got most of pre-testing done, still not all. Don’t know if that matters, Last BMB was done last week and blasts are up to 32%. guess I have gone into full AML. They want to start induction sometime in the next 2wks. They are not using the typical chemo, it’s something new. My Oncologist is out of town this week, so I will not find anything out until next Monday. Any info on induction, please send. Hope all are well.

Good luck with everything and stay positive. There are no two people here who have had exactly the same feeling, response, GVHD, or reactions. Say a nice little prayer and stay positive and you will be fine!
Good Luck

Anneg,
Bob is right about no 2 people reacting the same. Also, you mentioned that they are going to try a different induction treatment. Is it a clinical trial? Let us know what it is when you find out more about it.
I know that you have your head and heart ready for this and where you have put your trust!
Keep in touch!
