Vidaza Works
Hi Donna E, and Welcome to this forum. Lots of smart helpful people here.
My wife Nellie recently completed her second cycle on Vidaza, and we are very happy with the results, so far. It is said that it takes 4-6 months to show signs of working, but it can work sooner. Not knowing your dad's history it's hard for me to compare with my wife. However, I pray the Vidazaa works as well on your dad.
My wife has shown some minor skin rashes and occasional light sweats. In addition she has had sever drop in her WBC count <0.7 which has us worried. At the start of her treatment her CBC dropped, but soon after the second cycle was started, the counts of red and plts went up significantly.
Once again, welcome and I hope I help put your mind at ease. Best wishes for you and yours..
Eli
