And the same for you.
Right now, despite leading experts telling me I ought start immediately with Vidaza (after having told me I ought start soon on lenalidomide based on the first bone marrow results), they cannot tell me why -- that is, what the difference in outcome likely will be versus waiting till the blood counts drop or I show ANY symptoms.
So my plan is to try a bunch of alternative things that do no harm and wait a bit for a third bone marrow reading while having blood labs done every second week. I just outworked people half my age (62) and have no fatigue or energy problems and no healing problems (even being a 40+ year type 1 diabetic), I think that I have a bit of time to review and carefully consider options.
While I support aggressive treatment where needed, I see no personal or scientific evidence for that now. Of course I will always consider new scientific evidence and I am quite in tune with my body and have usually picked up on problems before my doctors. My slightly low blood count (which is actually improving) was something I did not pick up on and therefor went through all the test everyone (generalist and specialist) told me were really not necessary.
None of this should encourage anyone with symptoms or significantly low blood counts from getting aggressive treatment soon. But I, personally, find it wise to make a more informed decision to consult with someone who holds differing views on the fundamentals of the treatment methods generally used.
