    Hi Robert,

    I’m del5q, with ASXL1,PPM1D and TET2 mutations. I’m currently watch and wait and it has been 1 year since diagnosis. Hemoglobin down to 9.4. Doc says that when HB is down to 9 he will start me on Procrit injections to help with the red blood cells. Procrit is a man made protein to help produce more red blood cells. Doc also advised that if Procrit not working I would go on either lenalidomide or vidaza.

    Hope this helps and good luck with your treatment
