I have to wonder just how long one can go without treatment. Dx in Oct. 2010, no real serious complications yet. Have had a cold/flu thing most of winter, still able to function? My Hbc12.0, platelet bounces around from 61-71, rbc 3.5, WBC 1.5 other blood counts slightly off, have had 3 BMB all coming up with more blasts than last. Last one was 18-20% blasts. Dr. tells me I won't live without BMT, none of six siblings match, searching for unrelated. Meantime suggests I get into a trial with a combination of three different drugs. I know from previous breast cancer treatment that these drugs do much harm as well as good. I'm wondering if I should let things go as is for a while before starting any treatment? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
