My doctor believes the 5 consecutive day treatment/28 day cycle is as good as the 7. I've responded extremely well but have only done 3 cycles. I don't know if there's a long term difference. Also, this drug appears to act very differently with each individual so it's difficult to predict. My Vidaza has been administered subcutaneously, 2 injections each day in my rather large stomach. Finally, I have found an instance where belly fat is advantageous! I started seeing positive results in the first cycle and amazing results after two. I just finished my third last week.
Good luck!
