My husband has been taking Vidaza and is starting his fourth round of treatments tomorrow. He is doing very well on them. His first round consisted of 7 days and the last two have been 5 days as will this next one. I don't know how many he will receive but as long as he is doing well, he is ready to take as many as the oncologist recommends. He is 73 years old and has other major medical problems. He receives Procrit shots also, as needed.
His first shot of Procrit made him feel a little "off" (his words) but has had no other bad symptoms from Procrit or Vidaza. He receives the Vidaza through a port that was put in before his first treatment. The port has been a God send to him. He hates to get stuck. We aren't able to do the things we did before his dx but mostly because of his congestive heart failure and pulmonary edema. He got his diabetes under control just in time for all these
other ailments to strike!
Good luck and God bless.
