It does seem that it takes a few cycles for Vidaza to work
and the counts to stabilize.

Hang in there and hopefully the platelets will get better.
Hi Kirby - Platelets not worrying me - Just Neuts.

Vanessa,

Just had results after first cycle - ALL counts up - just a touch but it's in the right direction. Neuts is still a worry - Dr says they may come up later in treatment - very early yet.

Still interested in Neulasta though.

Thanks for encouragement

John
