    Hi Jack, Good to see that your numbers are good. I will get the nonipills for George, maybe it will help a little his plt count. We were told the same thing about the Vidaza, like Greg learned from Dr List. George should have started it much earlier, but unfortunatelly we didn,t know about it, and the doctor didn,t either. You should get some more info about it , also you have to find out what could be down about your rising wbc. Maybe you have an underlying infection? George had that really bad sinus and gum infection. Once it was treated, his number got a little better. Best wishes, Kate

    Hi All, Yesterday bloodtest was still good, although the hmg sliding down a little. 9.9 now. The plt went down to 23.His wbc slowly rising, 16.2. The doctor doesn,t want to do anything, only supporting treatment. (blood tx), when needed. George has a new problem, he has a horrible back pain, hardly can get out of bed or a chair. If he doesn’t move the pain goes away. Tomorrow we are going to an orthopedic doctor. He does not need the oxigen anymore, he eats well, and feel well, when he doesn’t have the backpain. I wonder if there would be anything to lower the wbc, which will not effect the hmg and the plts.Any information greatly appretiated.Kate
