Our future
Hi John,
You know "syndrome" means several clinically recognizable features, signs, symptoms or characteristics that often occur together, so that the presence of one feature alerts the physician to the presence of the others. We don't have the same disease and our futures are very different.
That's why it is impossible to make a time table. We hope you will respond to Vidaza and that your disease never will progress to AML!
As many members have written before the prognosis today is much better for all patients than 1997 when some of the prognosis tables were published. We have better drugs and better supportive therapy. Patients with other types of blood cancer like chronic myeloic leukemia have got very good drugs that totally has changed the patients future.
I have seen reports about combination of drugs (Vidaza and Zolinza) that have good effect in more that 80% of the patients (very small study). Probably this type of combinations will show better treatment results.
Kins regards
Birgitta-A
