I think I figured out the headache before I hit the doctor's. At any rate he's not worried about it. I think the head problem is actually the neck. That started up today and it all made sense. I'm scheduled for the chiropractor Friday. I'll see if I can move that up.

Meanwhile, the bone marrow is stable which is better than being unstable but still not what it should be. The game plan now is a series of infusion chemo as opposed to chemo pills. This one is specifically made to target what I've got. even at that it's a 50-50 shot but if it doesn't work there are other things to try. Nature of the beast.

So starting next week I go into the doctor's at 8 every morning for 7 work days in a row and get this stuff in a vein for 15 minutes a day.. Then I'm off for 21 days and we do it again. if it's going to work I'll need fewer transfusions within 4 - 6 months. Overall I'm more optimistic about this. The stuff is called vidaza. we will see.
