I have been inactive for awhile. Just busy, enjoying life! I am currently on my 58th cycle of Vidaza. It took about 12 cycles before I was transfusion independent. I have been told that most doctors would have discontinued treatment, but my doctor stuck with me. His theory is that it has created a graft vs. leukemia effect. he briefly explained that the Vidaza has programed my donor T-cells to fight the MDS. I'm trying to find more information on this.
