My 78 yr old mother was diagnosed in May 2014 with high risk MDS. Blasts were 13% and have stayed relatively stable since.
Has been on Vidaza since, and about to start her 17th month. Follow Baillie's advice....bang on! My mother's QOL also very good, except for feeling a bit of malaise for 2-3 days during her week of treatments. She was only hospitalized twice in 17 months for high fever....was discharged in both instances after 3 days. She did not need transfusions at all until just recently. Now getting transfused every 4-5 weeks for red blood.
Hope vIdaza works out for your fil.
God bless,
Annette
