First off, my Oncologist said we were using Dacogen and I obviously had no reason to question this decision. I just finished my 19th five day cycle. Currently eight weeks off between cycles. At least at Hillman Cancer Center in Pgh. eight weeks is the longest successful off cycle and 40 Mg is the best dosage. I don't want to jinx myself, but I am the longest responding Dacogen patient at Hillman. I just finished my 22nd consecutive month of excellent labs and have been in total remission for almost a year. I have never had a transfusion and my current blasts are 0% down from 14% at dx. At dx I was classified I.P.S.S. Intermediate two. I have had acid reflux issues, Hypoglycemia and sleep apnea. Does Dacogen influence any of these? Don't know.

Go Dacogen, Go Steelers
