Life after vidaza
I went to Stanford University for a second opinion when it appeared vidaza had run its course with me. They told me about a new drug on the market only approved by the FDA November 2017 called venetoclax. Look it up. I've been on it (it's a pill) for a month now, together with infusions of dacogen, and my blasts have gone from 51 per cent to 3!. It's a constant battle with nausea but Zofran helps, and remission is possible. Wish me luck. So far so good.
