AML\Flag-Ida\SCT

Hi FULHAMBOY (NICK)

Thanks for information, Not sure why 2 cycles of Flag Ida! But yes in remission  The 2 cycles were always on the schedule after my relaspe! Yes Flag Ida is stronger than the 4 cycles I had last year and side effects not great!! But being positive you just have to just get through it! Must admit not looking forward to next cycle!

Mind you I also have another cycle of chemo before SCT which I hear can be hard also.

I am looking forward to getting through it and getting on with life  

I hope your wife carry’s on with her positive journey.

Thanks for reply it’s always good to hear from others who have been through the journey!
Staying positive

Hi Gary

My wife didn't need a further chemo course after her flag ida, she relapsed after 20 months following that treatment and was given chemo tablets and regular injections into her abdomen whilst awaiting SCT. This continued for 6 months along with self administered injections to boost her white cells prior to sct.

Hi Nick,

I guess we are all different and depending of version of AML we have, the Drs decide what the best treatment is for each of us.

I also have the injections to boost the white cells but while at having the Flag Ida, which does sound counter productive as the Flag Ida is killing off the white blood cells! But the Drs know what they are doing and must be a reason for it!
Cant say I like the injections into abdomen! 
Thanks

Garry
