Great results continue with Revl/Dacogen/Promacta
Hi fellow MDS colleagues,
The roller coaster is again on a good increase, going uphill sharply  .
My latest BMB results show the Blasts reduced to 8% from 16% four months ago. Cellularity increased to 30% ("normal" for 70 yrs of age) from 20%.
My Hgb increased from 6.0 to 11.7 in 12 weeks after restarting Revlimid at 5 mg/day. This is my second GREAT response to restarting a drug that had stopped working earlier in my fight against MDS.
I feel the combination of Revlimid with the very low dose Dacogen (decitabine) and the Promacta may be increasing the effectiveness.
Don't ever give up in fighting MDS. You never know what might work.
