    Dr. Lin:

    I am not sure I am need of bone marrow transplant – I am sure -it is only matter of time b4 my blood ratios and what not drop, my worry is my body quits responding to vidaza injections, yes every 2 weeks they do

    I been diagnosed mds-mld -low since July 21–last month they did bone marrow biopsy -this is second one completed, first one was last December

    right now my white cells are very low -platelet have come up some and red blood cells doing mostly ok

    I have no clue where we are on possible bone marrow transplant -when I was at Mayo – they put me on the register – so when the time comes we might have donor.

    and round 6 of chemo is in couple weeks
