Follow cbc with Vidaza
I'm on day 14 of my 1st Vidaza treatment and had 1st blood transfusion a few days prior (2 units, which got me to a 10)
I had a semi unrelated skin biopsy performed last week for a MDS germline study. I think it might be getting infected, so hope to get it looked at today.
I also noticed last week fatigue is back, I assume because my hgb has dropped again.
My question (finally) is there a protocol or guideline for follow up cbc during Vidaza treatments, especially with my counts so low?
1 more question please.
If I do get an early cbc and it says my hgb is low should I stick it out another 10days or so and get transfusion just before my next treatment or get it asap?
THANKS!
