MDS

Hi Kat,
Good that Steve is in remission!

As you probably know it can take several months before you will know if Vidaza will have any effect. The drug is used in AML too with positive results.

Hope some member who transformed to AML and got treated for that will respond about that experience.

How old is Steve? Is he healthy except for the MDS? He should ask for a stem cell transplant as soon as possible if he can get that treatment.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
74 yo, dx MDS Interm-1 2006. positive results with Thalidomide + Prednisone 2010-2013. Now trying Revlimid though I don't have the 5q- chromosome aberration.
