What have others seen as a time frame for thier platlet counts to rise (respond ) to therapy,sinse there the frist sign to see if your responding to treatment, when we started Decitabine 3 cycles ago Tinas Platelets we about 9 - ( 9,000 )... during these last 3 cycles they average around 4 to negitive 4..Thursday they were at 9 again..even though thats a rise, I dont feel that is a responce Doc says we will have to wait and see, we are going to do another bone marrow biopsy afer 4 round ( in 2 weeks ), HEMA staying ok ( around 24% - 26% ) only because were getting 2 bags a week...NO in crease in WBC ( been 1.3 - 1.5 for 2 1/2 Months ), my feeling is Decitibine is not working and have concerns about Induction Therapy do to prior and exesting cancer along with poor Risk Factors - Question is: How long do you usually wait to deside to try someting new? Doc says there are not alot of options and if Decitine dosent work we can try Induction - but warned us induction could kill her in the process of trying to help her.....LEUKEMIA SUCKS
