Vidaza

Thank you for the info on the neulasta. I don't know why they have only given it to him once a week. I will ask the doctor today. His count did come up to 2.2 after the last one, but fell dramatically after that. The other major problem is the platelet drop to 8 or 10 only a day or two after receiving platelets. They don't seem to last long at all. It has been two weeks since the last Vidaza injection with no improvement in platelets at all. In fact, it is worse. I know this is can happen, but the doctor seems to think he will be too weak to go through the next round even.
