weight

Hello CR,

Just to share... in the beginning, my husband, Ron, was very sick. He too lost weight and didn't feel like eatting much until about his 2nd cycle of Vidaza. He lost approx 15lbs. Now, he's gained it all back... and eatting like he did before he got sick....

In the beginning, I believe it was him feeling bad, combined with some depression about the new Diagnosis/change in lifestyle. In addition, Ron was also experiencing nightly "sweats" and elevated fevers... we had to ice him down several times with ice packs to help lower the fever. They don't recommend Tylenol, because it only "Masks" the problem. Thank Goodness, once the blood counts stabilized/increased, the problem went away...

Cindy
