SCT

Hi Cheryl,
Very interesting article about SCT.

Hi Donna,
I don't think the red blood cells and platelets will decrease as much as the white blood cells when the patient gets induction therapy. normal red blood cells live 120 days and platelets 10 days while white blood cells live a few hours.

You know I have been lucky (not when I got MDS but afterwards). I have a good chromosome aberration 12- (and one not so good X-). Then I don't have any other diseases. I responed very well to Thalidomide and now to Revlimid. I have really not needed to fight like many other members.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
