Hi Mc Gill,
You know Vidaza is supposed to be the best drug for MDS with a little more than 50% of the patients responding. Dacogen failed approvement in Europe last year due to not having showed results positive enough for approval. Of cause we are all different and many patients who not responded to Vidaza do respond to Dacogen.
I got the latest platelet transfusion July 2 when my platelet count was 27. Yesterday the count was 64
- I have not had such a high count since 2007! The same day I got the latest blood transfusion and yesterday my HGB was 96 so the transfusion interval will be at least 4 weeks compared to 1 week before Thalidomide.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
