Deletion of bits of chromosomes 5 and 7 are the commonest findings in these, but despite having a 5 deletion these cases are often more severe than the free-standing 5qminus syndrome, I'm afraid.Terry Hamblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346629921055055879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19490962.post-64730242629162754872008-11-11T01:24:00.000+00:002008-11-11T01:24:00.000+00:00Just came across your blog.

She is the hospital right now having her 7th transfusion since beginning this drug. Not exactly what the doctor said would happen. She had the rash which was dismissed yet I jsut read an article that said the rash could be fatal and would be added to the label. She's been admitted several times for fevers and now possible pneumonia. This all a result of chemo for breat cancer five years prior. Needless to say ...concerned and anxious.
