Vidaza subcutaneous

Just to interject a little. The initial clinical trials were sq injections. There have been a few SQ vs IV not much difference in outcome. But my understanding is that other than painful injection sites the side effects are less.

My husband was one of the fortunate ones that Vidaza did buy some quality time without transfusions for 2 years. he alternated ice and heat when he had a site that was bothersome.
Every journey is different. Blessing to each of your and your families.
