MemberHi All, It is so heart warming to read all your respond. Honestly, it is giving me strength.Monday his wbc was 123.000, the plt 6 and hmg 6 . He was in real bad condition. His feets are swollen with water retention. He needed oxigen to help him breath. So the doctor put him on Hydrea, and lasik .

His wbc are down to 56.000, and the doctor want to see how is his hmg tomorrow. His arms and legs are full of bruises ,red spots. It is so difficult to see him like this and not to cry.

MemberChristina, I made a bubu, somehow I pushed the add reply, before I finished the post. His plt are going up. That would be a sign that the Vidaza working. But why is all the other numbers are so low? Maybe it is also the initial reaction for the last round of Vidaza? I read somewhere, that sometimes they have to lower the dose. As far as the doctors: George is in the hospital since Monday. He was wisited by his hemo every day , than Wednesday he called a heart and a kidney specialist for him. I can’t get a straight answer from any of them.George hopefully is coming home tomorrow.He got 7 unit of blood and two unit of plt this week.He is feeling a little better today,so I was able to leave earlier.I hope your father getting better soon, our best wishes for his recovery. Kate.

MemberHi All, I can only say, that in my family several illnes was treated by alternative medicin professinals (not even doctor) with good result. Of cause, you have to be carefull, who is advising you.I do belive in vitamins and nutritions, and I also belive it is very hard to find a well researched and competent MD.But if you find one , you should discuss with him the nutritions, vitamins you are taking. Kate
MemberMarie, You have a wonderfull family. My thoughts are with you.How is Chris doing ? Happy New Year.Kate
MemberSad, I hope your Dad getting better, and maybe he let you go with him to the doctor.My husband is just like your Dad, doesn’t want me to go. I went once, I had a lot of question. The doctor answered everything I asked. Still my husband doesn’t want me to go anymore.Jody has some good idea there, I hope you will be able to find out what is going on. Best of luck for your Dad recovery. Kate

MemberHi Neil, I should have known.Those are, not related to the bone marrow.More imput? Thank you. Kate
MemberHi All, I don’t want to be a downer, but the information sheet for Aranesp say”For cancer patients with cemotherapy induced anemia.Aranesp is prescribed to treat chemotherapy induced anemia in patients with NONMYELOID malignancies.” It is also says that it is lasts three times longer in your body, than Procrit. I am only guessing, but if someone doesn’t have secondary MDS, that person probably shouldn’t get Procrit or Aranesp. Regardles, George doctor tried both with negative result.Kate
Hi Neil, Could you explain what is Nonmyeloid malignancy?Thank you KateMemberLisa, So sorry to hear the sad news. Your Father does have any pain now, he is in peace.My thoughts are with you in this difficult time. Kate
