Thumbs down Need info regarding Vidaza treatment
Hi

My name is Anne-Marie and I have MDS.
I am getting ready to start a treatment with Vidaza and would appreciate any info

I had few months ago completed 5 cycles of dacogen and the result was marginal. My Dr advised to try now Vidaza. Is there anyone that had done both treatments? Could you please tell me if Vidaza's side effects are more severe than dacogen, or about the same

Does the subcute injection have to be administered in a chemo unit or could it be done by any nurse? Is the drug mixed up in the pharmacy or it arrives ready to be administered as an injection?

Any info will be greatly appreciate

Thanks
Anne-Marie
