Vidaza IV

My father also has been receiving Vidaza via IV. He has went through 3 rounds beginning of every 1st week of the month. He went through the process with no problem.
Wow Eileen, they keep the IV in for 5 days? For my father, they said, they dont keep it in for more than 4 days max. I dont know why. So my dad changes that port (? is that what' its called?) twice a week. It's been a smooth process so far. I will keep updating.
