Dean's oncologist is going to start him on Vidaza this Monday, along with labs everyday to keep an eye on his counts. If needed, Dean will also have transfusions during the week. Dean's counts are so low, his doctor wants to try to keep them stable during the treatment.
Today is labs, and transfusions tomorrow, but Dean is hopeful about starting Vidaza.
Sending you lots of love, hugs, faith, hope, prayers,

Hi Patti and Dean,
Good to see your post, I sent you an email several days ago, as we hadn't seen any post for awhile. Happy to see that Dean is finally getting the Vidaza, and praying that it helps boost his counts.
My MDS doctor at Johns Hopkins called yesterday morning and informed us that the final report from BMB shows Blasts at 20, a real shocker. Also indicated that I only have a 50-50 chance for the Clinical Trial.
Platelet transfusions aren't helping currently at 7.
Hanging in there, Bob and Dru
