    Hi Patti

    I have not been on lately and when I came on today and saw the great news I was overjoyed. I hope Mom continues to well. Think about you and all my other forum friends often. Can’t wait till tax time is over and I can read the posts regularly. Mike is doing well and they are trying to stretch the Vidaza treatments to 6 weeks. Again – So happy with the great news.

    Hi Terri

    So glad to see that there is improvement. I was very concerned when you did not return my phone call. I am less concerned now that I see you are posting.

    keep up the good work.

    Fresh.

    You can ask at the produce department to core it and they will at no charge.

    I do not use the sesame seeds. I bought them by Mike did not like it. Thankfully the pinaplle alone works for him.

    Terri,

    Do not get discouraged. It is still holding and he is not tx dependant. Try Beets. Look at previous posts from Patti – It hink it is 1 small beet 1 cucumber and tsp of olive oil. I have even made it with an apple instead of the beets so that he can tolerate it. It works!!!
    Why do the whites go up and down?

    I recently took Cold – eeze cough drops for my cold and it was wonderful. I gave them to Mike first and he got better very quickly. It is an over the counter drug ( cough drop)

    Mike is on his 4th round of Vidaza. He started Monday. So far so goo. He has some mild nausea and is tired but still able to go to work. The doctor is thinking that he will try to stretch the intervals. The problem is they do not know what works. Our doctor has a call into Dr List from Tampa to see what he suggests. ( They feel he knows more than the average MDS doctor) Let’s see what he has to say. In the mean time we have not pursued the transplant option at this time since the odds are terrible and Mike is feeling better on Vidaza. The real question is for how long? Please post regularly so that

    Try that pinapple! What do you have to lose? I am sure it has helped Mike. He is now taking the Noni pills so I do not juice as much. Lazy….that’s why.
