Vidaza or low dose cytarabine

Dear All,

Thanks for your infos and explanations...

Latest bone marrow showed 35 % blasts @ the Second Vidaza cycle...

Dr. did not take a decision yet but informed me that might switch to standard low dose cytarabine as supportive care....

I already know that a relapse after a CR is not a good prognosis, and i am trying to make sure that the best is being offered to Dad...

From lesley's experience, Vidaza kept on holding blasts and insure a minimum quality of life, the question is would it do the same with Dad ?

I feel a little hesitatting especially that vidaza effect is different on each patient....perhaps the low dose cytarabine will hold his blasts a little....

Anyone experienced low dose cytarabine ?

Thanks
