Just had a concern:
A few weeks ago my mom completed her first round of Vidaza. Her platelets are within normal range, HgB is 12 on the Procrit and WBC’s are coming up since their initial drop.
Today, her Doc did a bone marrow biopsy to check if the drug is working before he puts her into a second treatment. Originally, he said this isn’t done for about three months. I didn’t have a chance to talk to him today. We will have results on Wednesday.
Her last treatment went pretty smoothly, no nausea, just fatigue and low WBC’s. Hgb never less than 10 with the Procrit. Her appetite was terrible, she lost 6 lbs that she really can’t afford to lose.
Any ideas?
Thanks, I love this site Andrea
