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?

Its confusing but some doctors don't follow the package insert. We are all different. I have had 4 rounds of 7 days every 4th week 3 rounds of 5 days every 4th week and after round 7 my doc moved me to 5 days every 5th week. One member has had 20 cycles 5 days every 6 weeks.
