My husband has mds. He has been taking vidaza for 7 days and neupogen for 7days. He is on his fourth cycle and then a bone marrow biospy will be taken. He responds well to the vidaza while the neupogen shots effected him immediately after the shot was given, had bad flu symtoms. Recently he was in the hospital and was given Neupogen from a syringe and vial, he had no reaction for the three days in the hospital. After doing research on Neupogen, the prepackaged shot has a latex derived cap on the needle, my husband is allergic to latex. He now gets the syringe and vial shots only. He did have a slight reaction to one shot but he is feeling great for now. He is having more good days then bad. Hope the biopsy shows his treatments are working. For all you wives who have a husband dealing with MDS you are not alone. I know it is like being on a roller coaster. Just make sure after treatements you force them to drink lots of water to get the poison out.
