Dear All,

This is my first post on the forrum, and i would like to thank you all for sharing your stories and infos as i find them very helpfull...
I need to have some infos about the following:

- My Father 67 years old was treated for AML with an induction therapy using the protocol (7+3) (Cytarabine + Idarubicine)

- Following to this induction therapy, he achieved Complete Remission...Doctors advised not to continue with the standard consolidation, as he spent 60 days in hospital during the induction therapy and stayed neutropenic for 35 days !

- As consolidation, he started Vidaza (as 28 days cycle)…
After the end of the first cycle, his CBC is showing Hb 12.4, Platelets 76000, WBC 16000 (due to Neupogen shots)
Those readings were exactly the same before the first 7 days IV Vidaza cycle

My questions are the following:
- Can Vidaza be used as consolidation therapy after standard induction therapy ?
- Is it possible that Vidaza does not change any value in blood count ?

Thanks in advance…
