Vidaza

Dear Ziad,
It is very difficult to have two doctors who give you different advices. As you can see at other posts where other members have family members with low counts during Vidaza treatment many doctors give as much supportive therapy as possible. This means blood and platelet transfusions and in some cases Neupogen or similar drugs. I don't think it is common to give Eprex or similar drugs.

Your father's neutrophils are very low - they should be at least 1.5 otherwise he can easily get an infection.

His platelets are again very good ! No sign of that he is refractory. Very good with no blast cells in his blood!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
