okay- here we go....

Hi,
I spoke with the doc at about 6:30- he says all of my blood counts are down (they have been declining all along) and that my platelets are now below normal for the first time. He wants me to start Vidaza (chemo) sooner than later. He says it takes a while for it to kick in and he doesn't want me need a transfusion or be more prone to infection etc. So I start on Monday July 31st. Five days on and three weeks off. I'm not thrilled but I don't want to go into serious decline. I know this drug and it's a good one so I'm proceeding. Please think of me as the kick ass healthy monkey that I am.
In health,
Beryl
