Hello Sue, my dad also started his Vidaza on Monday and so far so good. Is he on the 7 day schedule or 5+2+2 schedule. My dad is on the 5+2+2 which I am disappointed about because it seems like 7 days straight is the gold standard.
Interestingly, he has also had a couple of spikes of fever that lasted an hour or so and then goes away. It's scary because the cancer center told us to bring him to emergency if the fever is over 38oC for an hour or goes over 38.3oC. He felt fine so we waited a little and it came down. All the best to both of you!
