Data - I had a terrible time on Vidaza. I only had 2 cycles because I ended up in the hospital after the 2nd one with diverticulitis, followed by several other hospital stays. It drove all my counts down - previously only my wbc and neutrophils had been low. However, it does seem to have driven my blasts from 14% to 10%.
If they give you Zofran or something else for nausea while taking Vidaza, watch out for constipation - I think that is what did me in. I also had a lot of pain and redness where they gave me the shots.
Hopefully your experience will be more like bailie's.
