low immune system with vidaza, now pneummonia

my mom who is 68 with no other health problems started her first round of Vidaza on Monday, Thursday after treatment she stated she was very tired. I took her temp and it was 104, so off to the hospital we did go. She has Pneumonia, low oxygen and rapid heart rate 144. Last night she suffered a slight heart attack. Today blood transfusion, etc etc. I know it is common to pick up sickness with low immune system. How long should one wait after receiving transfusion before beginning treatment again??
