Hi Eileen,
I just had my 1st vidaza IV today. It was sooooo much better!!!! Like you, they will leave it in during the 5 days of treatment. How I wish I would have been doing this from the beginning! Thanks for the tip! I've been struggling with stomach cramps and they prescribed lorazepam for nausea. I took it last night and slept better than I have since I can remember. Plus, I awoke feeling refreshed and not lethargic at all. What a tremendous relief. I hope all is still going well for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Kathy
