Brigitta-A - Thanks for sharing and the attachment. I am trying to absorb it all! Not sure I understand what Neutropenic fever is, but know our last bout of pneumonia was enough sickness for now.
Sbk007 - Thanks for sharing your results. Am in hopes my husband will react as favorably with the Vidaza as you did. Will just have to keep a good watch on his whites, as we are starting at 1. Maybe for a little while we will just have to stay home. We socialize a lot, but have learned not to shake hands when necessary.
BillyB -The Doc has indicated that the use of neuprogen is not or may not be helpful. I will talk to him about his reasoning when we next seem him. Thanks for the suggestion. I ask a ton of questions (sometimes driving my husband crazy) but did not think to ask that one. I believe his plan is to give us a pill for nausea to use if necessary. He also said we will be attending a "class" about the Vidaza so that we will know what to look for, when it is important to see or not see the Doc, etc.
Darcie Back to you via email. Am off to Branson. Seems like we never stay home - though that will change starting in Sept.
Thanks to all for your kindness and sharing. This is a great place for me to learn and talk. Peachy
