Cytarabine was given to relieve bone marrow leg pain caused too many wbc in the marrow. Gleevic worked for him for 18 months, then hydrea and blood transfusions for another 7 months. He had advanced to the accelerated and perhaps the blast stage.
I had suggested the john hopkins clinical trial for philadelphia negative patients as well as a mini transplant possibly avail on the west coast, but he felt too weak to travel and wanted to try this to get relief from his pain. Thank you for all the suggestions and support offered at this site.
