Vidaza

Hi Liz,
You know most patients that are responding to Vidaza have done that after 6 cycles but there are patients who are responding later. Remember that only a little more than 50% will respond.

As you suspect it is not a positive sign that your husband needs txs more often.

Has his doctor discussed a Sten Cell Transplantation?
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
74 yo, dx MDS Interm-1 2006. Supportive therapy with txs, Desferal and Neupogen until 2010. Since 2010 positve results with Thalidomide + Prednisone.
