Hi Ruth-

We meet with her hematologist on 6/11. I am going to push for a different treatment; she's currently on aranesp--which apparently is used primarily in treatment with low-risk and intermediate-1. She falls into intermediate-2 and the aranesp doesn't seem to be working that well. It looks like maybe dacogen or vidaza would be a better course. I'll post again after her appt. and let everyone know how it's going.

Thanks to you and everyone that has responded to all of my questions. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Amy
