Well it appears I am not RA but RCMD (all 3 lines) combined with the MPD, 2 % Blasts, 95% Cellularity, Grade 3 Fibrosis, no chromosome changes.

The Valproic Acid continues to work, thank goodness and I have been tx independant now for almost 17 months and counting. Although this second round of treatment with the VPA, isn't jacking my hemoglobin up as high as it did the last time. It is stable in the high 120's, which I know most would love to have, so I am not complaining. My other counts have been holding strong with my Plt's being a bit high.

My Spleen continues to fuss at me and be slightly enlarged, but I am careful to protect it especially when riding or working around the horses.

Cheers,
Lynn
