Out of remission

For people keeping score I have been on Dacogen since May, 07, remission since '09. Today I found out I am no longer in remission. This is after 26 five day cycles of treatment. My choices are to drop from eight week cycles to four week cycles, not advised by my onc. The other choice is to enter the hospital for four weeks with intense treatment the first five days and the rest of the time being protected and allowing my counts to approach normal. This treatment will hopefully return me to remission and then back on Dacogen. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated
