Oral Vidaza

Hi nurseAngie,
Too bad that your mother is getting so severe adverse effects from Vidaza. It is always a problem with trials that you don't get the dose that should be best for you. Your mother had perhaps very low counts when she started the trial and if her doctor had been able to decide the dose she should probably have received a lower dose.

I think many patients get too high doses of drugs - in the survey for MDS patients I have written exactely that because I often read about dangerously low counts at this forum. Why not start with a low dose and evaluate the result.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
