Vidaza treatment

Hi Kathy,

Hope you are doing well.

Your treatment is very similar to what Bob received last year. He got Vidaza the same way with 3 weeks off in between. He also received Arenesp as needed, (not a set scedule) and Neupogen as needed (every from Feb 06 until May). His doc likes the flexibility of Neupogen. It is the same type of med as Nulasta, just on a daily dose.

You are correct that many are getting different treatments. It depends on the way MDS is affecting the individual.
