Hi - I've never posted before but have found the forums enormously helpful. I am 55 and was diagnosed with low risk MDS slightly over two years ago. Have been watching and waiting since, but in the last several months, after a bout of diverticulitis - my HG has declined to as low as 6 and I've needed several transfusions. We are planning to start lower intensity Vidaza treatment (5 days instead of 7) - and I am very nervous and not especially optimistic. If that fails they are thinking transplant. What should I expect from Vidaza - am I missing something or does it only work in a small percentage of patients? Anyone else go this route? Anything other thoughts/ideas? Thanks.
