Hi Deeno,

My dad was diagnosed in November last year with reab 2. He tried the vidaza shot and after just 1 shot he got sick, ran fever and ended up in hospital. So he doesn't get that anymore. He gets 2 blood every 2 weeks and platlets every other time. He's been in and out of the hospital with infections and he gets tired more and more lately. He also gets the procrit shot once every week. I don't see that it helps him much. We just try to give him positive support as much as we can and live day to day. It's hard to watch him lose weight and not look like himself. He loved to dance and to see that he can't do that anymore is just sad. My heart goes out to you, I know what your going through.
