Vidaza
Just finished the second weekly cycle of Vidaza. So far no side effects for which I am grateful.
I am gathering from what I read that I should expect at least four cycles before another bone marrow biopsy to see where we are.
So far I feel fatigue a lot but am able to still work. Fortunately I have a wonderful boss who allows me to come and go as I please. I am an account and have so far managed to keep up with little stress.
I don't deal well with the unknown. I guess I could deal much better if I had a time table: 6 months of Vidaza before progressing to AML and then life expectancy of 2 years. With that sort of timetable (as shocking as it might be), I could dispose of my home and other assets, do some farewell travels, etc. I am single and live alone but still don't want to be a burden on anyone (even non family) having to settle my estate.
Any suggestions on how to "take one day at a time" and not worry so much about if and when the final chapter might occur?
Thanks,
John
