It is Day +229 and I have relapsed. Blast counts are at 5%. It is interesting that the time (229 days) has been relatively uneventful. For the most part, I have felt good since the MDS diagnosis in November of 2013. Very minor GVHD of the skin which was easily controlled and lasted for a couple of weeks and a lung infection that was resolved quickly with surgery. I have had good blood counts almost the entire time with only one transfusion while getting the stem cell transplant.
I will start Vidaza treatments next week and continue for at least four cycles if there is a good response. If there is a poor response then the next treatment is inpatient Flag-Ida.
