Sounds normal for Vidaza

Hi run4peach1:

I am taking Vidaza. I'm starting my second 28-day cycle next monday. Just got a two-unit transfusion today (the beginning of the 4th week). The staff at oncology say this is normal, i.e., a significant drop in blood counts, for the typically three to six 28-day cycles. Here are my current stats: hemoglobin down from 9.3 to 8.5g/dL; Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) down from 800 to 500. After three to six cycles, some patients are transfusion free.

See my site at Vidaza Chronicles
