MemberCarrie,
I think you are righ . One of my friend mentioned to me several times, why couldn.t they plan this wedding earlier? And I was thinking and telling her, that with this sickness you never know what happening the next day. In april last year,George couldn,t come to the engagment party, he was so sick.Than again he had a couple of better month, in July he had a very bad infection, and so on. Ups and downs all the time, you never know, what next.I may scare you with this post, and I am very sorry. I posted earlier, and also tried to give you the advise to have your wedding as early as possible. I see now that I was wrong.I hope your Dad is getting better. Best wishes Katemommachkate

MemberCarrie, Our son is getting married May 28th . We are praying that George will be able to be there. In January he became wheelchair bound and in February he was in the Moffitt cancer center for chemotheraphy the whole month. We were hoping that he will go at least in partial remission, but it didn,t happened. He is getting tx every other week, from now on maybe every week. I can tell you that I am petrified , and very sad that we have to prepare for this wonderfull occasion, while George life is hanging on a thin thread. He is asking me day by day, if I think that he will be able to make it. Lets pray together , that your Dad and my husband also will be able to be there on their children wedding. When is your wedding being planned? I wish you and your family all the best. Kate ( Sorry about the lots of mistake, my English is poor, and nobody home to ask for help.)

MemberHi Karen, I know how difficult to take care an ill person, who can barely walks.I just found out , after we came back from Tampa, that he can have a nurse to come every oyher day to check on George and also a nurseaid, who will help him with the showering. He could have physical therapy come to the house also, but the doctor said not to, because of his spinal injury.Medicare ciovers all this, But nobady staying long , only 20-25 minutes, so I always have to ask somebody to stay with George if I have to leave the house. I hope your father will be able to have this services. How is he doing?I hope you and Kathy will be strong to help him with his treatments. Best wishes Kate

MemberNeil, Thank you for the information, I will talk to his doctor about it. He indicated several time , that he does not recomend anything else , but supportive care. He said, George shouldn’t even get plt tx, because, his body might reject it when he might need it in case of an emergency. (Internal bleeding, etc). So, I am really so scared, and trying to find out abut something, what he could try for the plt.Best wishes Kate

MemberNeil,
So much we learn from you. I asked the nurse about checking the plt numbers the way you mentioned it. The answer was we did it twice. The plt still 1000. But next time I will ask the doctor for that test. Any certain name of that test? George has a lots of dark red almost black spots on his arm and leg. He has a lots of brusies too. Last week he had nosebleed for 3 days, than it stoped. Also for a few days he has these bloody bubbles on his tounge and inside his mouth. I wish I could find out , if there is anything he could try for that low plt.Katemommachkate
MemberHi Carrie, When George was on Vidaza, he was getting the treatment even when his count was very low.They only stoped the treatment when he got an infection, and from than on he became very sick, and transformed to AML.My best wishes for your Father treatment. Kate
