so glad your are doing well this is an update on william my husband. he was dx. jan. 08 mds raeb1 intermediate stage he had 4 rounds of vidaza and 4 bmb and was in remission in sept.08 in june or july 08 he started having back pain and was referred to pain mangement dr. he had x-rays and cat scans and shots in back and hip still pain was sent for phy. therapy helped a little.in dec. he came out of remission and jan.09 was started on vidaza again he has had only 2 rounds of it due to low platletts and low red blood cells he has had 2 transfusions and 1 platlett infusion of course whites are down also. we are dealing with that but bak to the pain. it was just when he was standing but now for last 3 weeks its 24/7 it is in his hip and groin terrible pain he is on pain medsall the time now. he could deal with the mds if his leg would just get better he can barely walk he is going to be in wheelchair soon he goes back to cancer tomorrow and dr. im going to impress on her 1 more time about this leg i think he should seean orthopeadrtic dr. instead of just covering it up with pain meds. or is this a part of his condition. if it is tell us i know this is long but im desparate helen
