Sorry to hear about the decline in your wife's numbers. I see that she only had 3 cycles of vidaza, which is a little unusual since most reports suggest a minimum of 6 treatment cycles. Hydrea is used to reduce blood counts, whites and platelets primarily, but it is a little unusual to see it as a primary treatment for MDS or AML.

What other options are you looking at for her? Have you visited or consulted with an MDS or AML center of excellence?

Best wishes.
