Treatment

Hi Chirley,
You are very young and most centers will accept you for a SCT during at least 6 years if everything else is OK. I am much older and at my age it is not so difficult to accept that I won't be very old.

If you decide to try drugs Vidaza is the best choice for most patients - hopefully the reseachers will soon know which patient that will respond.

I think $40,000.00 is a lot of money and if I wanted to try Vidaza I should ask my doctor to write and explains why this drug is the drug of choice - the drug has been approved by FDA for low risk MDS and he can get all kinds of statisics from their site.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
