Post doctors visit results

Todays doctor visit was a mixed bag of results. 

My levels are holding steady or only slightly declining which means no Vidaza for now. This is good news because the side-effects of it are pretty nasty. 

Down side is we need to wait for results for Erin. Failing that match, we need to go to the unrelated donor database. I reiterated to the doctor that I really want to get this rolling for June/July so it would be great if they did the database checks now. 

They prefer to use a related match whenever possible so as to gain factors in the blood they may not be measuring against which is why they are not going straight to the database.

Another appointment is scheduled for two weeks. Hopefully I will know more then.
