Sending some positive thoughts to you

Dear Joseph,
I wanted to speak up and let you know that for my Dad (who has AML) it took more than 7 cycles for the Azacitidine (Vidaza) to show positive results. I hope the doctors give it a while to take hold and I hope that the treatment gives your Dad some good results.

My Dad had 26% blasts in his peripheral blood when he was diagnosed with AML. The only drug he's received has been Vidaza (due to his age and the fact that he has a heart condition). He did really well on that single drug for over a year.

Sending you some good positive energy and calm...
Lesley
