Hi Rich;
We are new to MDS - Earl is on Dacogen IV therapy. But, we were told by 4 Hema/Oncs - one at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa who had previously practiced at Sloan-Kettering In Rochester NY, and also Dr. Sekeres at the Cleveland Clinic that it takes between 4-6 sessions of treatment before either Vidaza or Dacogen kick in and begin to slow the transfusion level. Right now, Earl is getting transfused at least once a week, and sometimes twice - that being the week he received chemo. He has had 2 cycles - and so far the counts still drop. I am waiting and watching - and hoping things will change for him. I hope they do for you as well. Good Luck
Beth
