Treatment

Hi Neel,
Very interesting that the ayurvedic treatment had so positive effect during 5 months. Now your father seems to have become "resistent" to that treatment and it will probably only give adverse reactions like low platelets - platelets are very sensitive to all kinds of drugs.

Have they done a BMB lately? You know your father can be near the limit for AML when his blast cells were as high as 18 % last fall.

I think like bebop that your father could try Vidaza with a little more than 50 % responders.

Many patients get SCT without a matching sibling - I don't think the risk for complications are increased if you have a good match. Then there is always cord blood.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
