Vidaza response
The usual response time is after three one-week course, with some taking as much as 6 months. There is also some evidence (a poor study, but still encouraging) that a switch to Dacogen after failure of Vidaza might work for some. About 1/3 of patients don't respond to either, but some respond to Revlimid, evenif they don't have a 5q- chromosomal abnormality. Even if no response to these, some people do well for years on transfusions alone.
