If they give you Zofran or something else for nausea while taking Vidaza, watch out for constipation - I think that is what did me in. I also had a lot of pain and redness where they gave me the shots.
Hopefully your experience will be more like bailie's.

Tracy,
Thanks for your honest opinion. That is exactly what I wanted - honesty. I think sometimes people only want to present the good side of treatments but I need to know the good and the bad.
Thanks again!!
