Question Vidaza - Opinions?

I just got back from my appointment with my hematologist / oncologist. My last bone marrow biopsy showed I have a monosomy 7 in 6 of the 20 cells examined. She is talking about starting me on Vidaza. My blood counts are:
WBC=2.5
ANC=0.6
RBC=2.8
Hb=10.5
Platelets=28

I have read the clinical literature but I would like to know from folks who have been on this medicine their thoughts - both good and bad. Like success, side affects, etc. At the hospital where I go, I would have the injection every day of the week and then on Monday and Tuesday to complete the 7 day cycle.

Thanks for you thoughts and opinions in advance.
