Vidaza 5-day regimen
Today I finished my 8th Vidaza 7-day cycle. I have had only one side-effect and that is constipation, quite treatable.
I am curious about the 5-day vs. 7-day cycle. Since the FDA gave approval to Vidaza based on the clinical trial of 7 days it is the usual dosage. Where is this treatment being given and were you given a choice of 5 vs. 7?
I would like to go from 7 to 5. I am assuming that the total dosage of 7 is divided into 5 days?
