Miserable Side Effects with Vidaza

My husband has MDS that has converted to AML. He has had 5 rounds of Vidaza and the side effects of bloating and cramping get worse with each cycle. The bloating is far worse in the mornings and begins shortly after he gets up (5-10 minutes). He also becomes short of breath. If he rests for about an hour, the symptoms usually go away. He has had 2 episodes of this severe bloating that required an ER visit with IV pain meds nausea meds. He is due to start round 6 on 6/2 and I don't see how he can survive it. Any thoughts?
