I am glad you are responding well to Vidaza. It gave me a year of being transfusion free and my blasts eventually went down to 3%. I thought I would be the first Vidaza miracle! But 6 months later my blasts jumped up to 42% and I had progressed to Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML). This is a fickle disease. What works for one, will not work for another. What works for many months, may suddenly stop. Get a second opinion, from a hemotologist/oncologist who specializes in MDS. The Myelodysplastic Syndromes Foundation has a list of MDS Centers of Excellence and will answer questions, and even help set up appts. for you. <
