When I had my previous BMB the Dr spoke about Vidaza but at that time I didn't want to do it. However it will depend on what the result is for the current BMB. I would have to fly down to Brisbane and stay there for 9 days each time for 6 months. I think here that treatment only continues if there seems to be a positive result.
