    Bob has finished five treatments over the past two weeks. and His plts are now up from the 20’s to 40. To us that is to Jump for. His other counts are holding HBG ll.3, whites are Normal finally. The Radiation Oncologist says he has handled the treatment well the spleen is reducing. He has two more treatments, then we see our Regular Hemotologist to see how he thinks he is doing and see if they will do any additional or this was it. Has not had a full Cycle of Vidaza since around the 4th of July holiday.
    I just hope everything continues on this path, he seems to be doing well. The treatments make him tired however after a day he starts getting a little more energy.

    Hi Terri,

    I am happy to hear that Bob is coping well with the radiation and that his spleen is shrinking.

    I wish you both all the best.
