Smile iv vidaza

Hi Kathy,
How did you make out with your new oncologist?I hope they let you try iv,it`s so much easier.They leave the needle in for 5 days wrapped,you don`t even feel it.They unwrap it every day,give you more meds & rewrap it.I use a plastic wrapper that the news paper comes in on my arm with an elastic so i wont get it wet,but i still stick my arm out of the shower,just real careful i guess.
My oncologist told me that you don`t buid up & immunity to vidaza but if you stop you have to start all over,who want`s that,
Hope your feeling well,stay strong
Eileen
