Should Vidaza Reduce Transfusions?
My husband is starting his 6th cycle of Vidaza and gets Aranesp. It seems the goal of the Vidaza is to keep from progressing to AML and should reduce or eliminate the need for transfusions. If PBRC transfusions are needed more often, does that mean it's not working? Could his blast count be lower or steady even with the increased transfusions? He has a BMB scheduled for later in July.
