Data, I don't understand your hesitation with Vidaza? If it works for you (it works for about 45 percent of people) your standard of living will improve. I have only had one transfusion in the last two years and that was from the transplant when my platelets "bottomed out" at eight which was expected. The Vidaza has kept my platelets close to 200 for almost all the time on Vidaza. The side effects are minimal. At a certain stage it is either Vidaza or not live any longer.
