Vidaza
Hi annm,
Do you know anything about your Dad's counts?
When we get infections it is often because our white blood cells are low. The bone marrow can make more white blood cells if we get injections with drugs that stimulates the bone marrow.
My white blood cells have been low since I had fever Sept 2007 and I take 3 injections Neupogen/week and my white blood cells are OK. Perhaps Neupogen or a similar drug could help your Dad when his white blood cells decrease during Vidaza treatment. It is important to fight the adverse effects of Vidaza so we can tolerate the drug.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
71 yo, dx MDS Interm-1 May 2006, transfusion dependent, Desferal and Exjade for iron overload, Neupogen 3 injections/week for low WBCs, Thalidomide 50 mg 5 caps/week + Prednisone 10 mg/day for bone marrow fibrosis.
