Carole,
Good luck on this first round of Vidaza and all subsequent rounds. As Bailie noted, keep very well hydrated, drink lots of water, especially towards the end of the first week and into the second week. Reduce the amount of sodium and/or increase your potassium intake to counter the sodium. If the doctor ever offers anti-nausea like zofran or caitrol, i would lean towards taking it because it is harder to fight off nausea that has taken hold than it is to prevent it in the first place.
Here is to hoping for a successful start to your treatment path!
