Vidaza

I'm assuming your MDS is considered secondary due to the chemo treatments you had for lymphoma in your kidney in 1998. My husband has been diagnosed with secondary MDS due to having CHOP chemo for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1998. We will be going to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN to see if he is a good candidate for a SCT. The MDS doctor from Mayo has recommended to the oncologist/hematologist here in Des Moines, IA that my husband start the drug therapy Vidaza. My husband has an appointment on Tuesday to see his Des Moines doctor who will get him started with the drug therapy. So I will let you know how he does on that. Please reply with any information you can give us with your diagnosis/history. We may have some things in common.

Regards
Sandy & Pete Peterson
