It seems my Physician and I have finally worked out a regime for copper treatment that while not keeping my bone marrow functioning normally, at least keeps me reasonably healthy.

It's been 8 weeks since my last infusions and my counts aren't good. So my Physican has determined that a week of infusions every sixth week keeps my counts at a reasonable level. They never fully recover but at least they don't drop to blood transfusion stage and my neuts only decline to between 0.5 and 1 and not into critical levels if we stick to the six weeks. I'm so happy that we have pushed the boundaries and worked out a regime that keeps my health reasonably stable while retaining some quality of life. It sure beats the two weeks off and one week on treatment that I was having.

I'm very pleased to be in "boring" category health wise.
