You are right that I really had no choice except to immediately consider a SCT. My counts went from normal (and no symptoms) to poor counts (HGB @12.6, HCT @35.7, PLT @ 48, RBC @ 3.75, WBC @ 4.7, Neut @ 2.1 and MCH @ 33.6) in about 10 months. The downturn continued until the second round of Vidaza. The downward trend was so rapid that the discussion of a SCT was necessarily immediate. I also had a difficult match so we had to start early to get a donor.
