Started chemo last night...

Started 7+3 chemo, the standard for Leukemia treatment (including RBC/AML) Yesterday, otherwise feeling ok... No more pain attacks, HGB at 9.4 after a 1 unit transfusion on Sunday when I was admitted...

The chemo is harsher than Dacogen, so they want me loaded up... Platelets are 25 so I'll be getting a unit of those today...

All the Best, and may God Bless...
David
