My husband started Vidaza in August 2009 and it took him a few months to level off. We were really worried for months that the Vidaza wasn't working but it seemed to "kick in" and the transfusions got further and further apart. Now, we are waiting for his 18th round but has been delayed for 2 weeks so far because of low WBC. His platlets and RBC are not good but the white are really low. He got procrit shots bi-weekly after about 9 months into Vidaza treatments. HE got the procrit this week and last week, but its not bringing up his blood counts. Now they are trying a series of four Neuprogen injections. I pray that his counts will go up and he can continue with the Vidaza.
Hang in there ladies, be sure that your oncologists are giving you all the information you need. I will keep you in my prayers.
