Vidaza
Hi Susan,
I have not been treated with Vidaza but read a lot about that drug. It is considered to be the best drug for most MDS patients - a little more than 50% are responding. As you have understood low counts and nausea are common adverse reactions. Vidaza like Dacogen is evaluated after 6 months because it usually takes several cycles before the drugs have effect on the bone marrow.
Kind regards
