Remission

Hi Greg,
MDS therapy is really very complicated - I suppose that depends on that we have different diseases with some signs in common.

The epigenetic drugs like Vidaza and Dacogen (hypomethylating drugs) or Zolinza (HDAC = histondeacetylase inhibitors) are now in trials for many types of cancer not only for MDS/AML. Then many MDS patients receive "strong" chemo for example if they will get a SCT.

Your own treatment with Danazol is another example of a special treatment for the quite uncommon type of disease you have.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
