answer to Kert
Hi Kert and Mrs. Kert,
I have been diagnosed with MDS last October. I am 70. and going to city of Hope. They are presently treating me with Vidaza. 2 shots for 7days and off for 21 days. While I take the shots I get nausea. But I can control it with zofran. The shots' sites are painful. When I am off for three weeks, I still feel a little nausea. However, I have not had a transfusionson since May of this year. I guess in some ways this works. I wish I knew how long you can take this stuff. I will check on Dacogen. Good luck to all of us. If you hear of any new treatment--Please let's share the news.
