Ater three cycles of Vidaza, it was time to check on my progress. So on Tuesday, I had a bone marrow biopsy (5th one to date.) Sometimes they'll wait until after six cycles, but since a bone marrow donor has been found it was worth checking early.
And it's a good thing they did it now. Because, unfortuantely, it seems that the treatments have been totally ineffective, and that I have relapsed into a much worse state.
So now I have to go back into the hospital for another round of induction therapy (7 days of treatment, followed by two or three weeks of recovery). The drugs will be different from the first time, but I expect that it'll be very hard, like the first time.
This will most likely start today or tomorrow.
Sorry. That sucks. Back to the battlefield. I am here.....always.
