Nellie's Journey on Vidaza

Hi All,

You can read the first part of our journey at this thread: MDS Naples FL, 3/2008.

We completed the eighth cycle on Vidaza last Friday. Got a Neulasta shot on Monday, did labs, saw the doctor and got Procrite shot on Tuesday, the 30th of Dec 2008. Labs were much improved: i.e., Plts at 95, Whites at 8.2 and Hbn at 10.1. Since we reduced the Vidaza from 135mgs to 67.5mgs, we have seen a steady rise in numbers.

We have four more cycles before we do a third BMB for comparison. Nellie is feeling pretty good. No savere side effects. Minor soars in mouth, tiredness and some bloating. Her spirits are high and pray to acheive a level of remission that will permit reducing chemo further.

Looking forward to the New Year. Wishing all on this forum better days. Happy, Healthy and Prosporous New Year.

Eli
