Effect of transfusion

Hi run4peach1,
As far as I understand different patients feel the effect of transfusions differently - I can't feel the difference between HGB 8.0 and 11.5 (after 2 units). The nurses have told me that nobody feels the difference the day they get the transfusion but most patients do feel better the day after transfusion.

Yes, Vidaza can give adverse reactions during the whole treatment. Let us hope that your father will respond with increased HGB after his 4th cycle with Vidaza!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
