I would suppose that "their thinking" was partially based that there was nothing presented so far that was convincing either way.

The big question around this subject is "how long is Vidaza effective". If a person is on it early as preventive maintenance, does that limit the time it is effective later on when needed? Effectiveness of Vidaza is so variable that definitive answers are evasive.

I am about as high-risk as a person can get with the Philadelphia+AML diagnosis. The nice thing is that I have shown few symptoms duing the last 18 months. I do get tired in the evenings, however.
