Angry MDS
Hello to Everyone, My name is RogerJ.
I found out in the hospital after they gave me 8 pints of blood and had a bone marrow biospy that I have MDS. I am 62 yeras old, young compared to some of you. They started me on Vidaza Monday(Dec.14,2009) by IV Infusion with a nausea drug at the start. I also have Compazine Tablets for home use for nausea. I entered the hospital and stayed 8 days with a Hg count at 5.0 and left with 10.8 Hg Blood count. They did a Bone Marrow Biospy and thats when MDS was detected. They are doing 5 days of Vidaza and 21 days off and repeat the cycle every month. The booklet from Vidaza says to do 7 days then 21 days off. What do you think about my cycle of only 5 day of Vidaza?
