My mother was diagnosed at 77, with 13% blasts. Vidaza for 34 months. Stopped treatments as they didn’t appear to be effective. During treatment, she was transfusion independent for about a year and then seldom had transfusions until the last 6-9 months of treatment. She has now been off Vidaza since February 2017 and except for one bad infection when we thought she was going to die, she has been doing “relatively” well. She no longer receives platelet transfusions, even though her platelets are really low ( between 4000 and 18,000) and gets red blood transfusions every 3-4 weeks. She continues to amaze us wiht her will to live and her tenacity. I admire her courage and faith. She still has a good quality of life!
Hope this helps,
Annette
