Vidaza

Hi Sidhartha,
Yes it is very common that all counts will decrease when a patient starts to take Vidaza. As I wrote before look out for low white blood cells. Every time your dad is getting an infection his counts can decease and he can get neutropenic fever or sepsis.

The posive effects of Vidaza seldom come after the first cycles. During these months he must try to avoid infections, eat well, get enough sleep etc.
Kind regard
Birgitta-A
