Carole L,

You said, "Have been offered Viadaza to start as first line, with BMT as follow up- no thanks."

Vidaza is generally offered primarily to high risk patients. I had Vidaza for eight months without any side effects. I don't think I would have made it for eight months without the Vidaza. I never had any transfusions or anything other than the Vidaza during that time.

You seem to have made the decision early on not to try to extend your life. I realize that it is a very difficult and personal decision. I wish you the very best.
