Hi Catherine - my husband is mid-way through round 2 of his Vidaza treatment with no real side effects either. As a matter of fact he is feeling/looking/acting better than he has in months. Dave has the trifecta; low white, red and platelets (and a couple of crummy mutations thrown in to keep us on our toes!) His white was even as low a .7 and ANC at .3 at different times, so severely neutropenic. 10 days ago his platelets were at 17 and due to a history of bleeding he had a transfusion. Mid-way through his second round of Vidaza his platelets have been increasing and have recently jumped to 203! Crazy right? Wish I could say the same about his white and HGB. Theyare going up, but low enough where he is still neutropenic and could also require another red cell transfusion. I too put Dave on the papaya leave tea, not sure if that had any effect, but we will take good numbers as long as we can get them. Good luck to your Dad next week, I am hopeful he will continue respond to treatment!
