    Devon, thanks for that information. My dad just did his first round of being on the dacogen for 10 days and your exactly right, he has several flu like symptoms this week. We live in the south too, so pollen is everywhere! It makes it hard to discern if he is having allergy issues on top of chemo symtpoms.

    Do those usually pass for you or does it stay that way until the next round?

    Thanks so much for the info! He does get a CBC done every week to check his levels so we are definitely familiar with those. Even with blood transfusions he runs around 8/8.5. We definitely have things to keep our eyes on, it sounds like!
