As I have said previously, Vidaza has saved my life without changing my lifestyle at all. Often I will golf 18 holes during the week that I am getting the shots. I have been on the golf course a couple hours after the shots. I have had no side effects that are worth noting except some redness around where the shots are given.
I get my shots on seven consecutive days. Five days at my local cancer center and then on the weekend at the larger institution (Oregon Health Science University). The approval for Vidaza was predicated on the seven consecutive days.
When I started on Vidaza my counts were: WBC@4.7, RBC@3.75, platelets @48, HGB@12.6 and neutrophils@2.1.
