Hey Danielle!
Sorry to hear about Mark's sliding counts.
My transplant doc at Wake Forest was planning to give me Vidaza to get rid of cytogenetic abnormalities prior to transplant. If that didn't work, she said, we'd try Dacogen. She seemed to feel that Dacogen was a bit stronger or, at least, would sometimes work when Vidaza didn't.
Like Vidaza, it's likely to make his counts worse before it makes them better.
I hope they can find him donor with good speed.
Good luck!
Greg
