MDS to Acute Leukemia and back to MDS

Hello everyone: I had MDS that went straight to Acute Leukemia. After 5 days of chemo, I am now back to MDS. When I had the Leukemia, I was giving 6 to 8 weeks to live! But since I was feeling so good, the doctors scratched their heads and did not understand why I was not sick. So now they do a third bone marrow biopsy to see what was going on. After 4 weeks of having Chemo, a Third biopsy was done and the Leukemia was gone! I have been to Hell and Back. Do you know what it is like being told that you are going to die, and then a week later the bone marrow was "clean". The doctors said that I "through them for a Loop". I wanted to talk to anyone who has MDS or even Acute Leukemia. I need to talk to someone that has my condition. Please email me at: alicat0226@hotmail.com or call me at: 703-606-3176 after 7:00 pm, and thank you very much for reading this!

I start Vidaza tomorrow. Does anyone have any stories about this drug? Did you have side effects?
Caroline
