Smile Dacogen

In August of 2008 I was diagnosed with MDS (11-14 blasts). After some needed transfusions, my hematologist put me on Dacogen to be administered five days every four weeks. By April counts were pretty normal except for whites which are usually a bit low.
In 2011, I saw a reference on this site about a study at MD Anderson saying that doses could be reduced somewhat without problems. Since that time, I have been going for treatment four days a week every six weeks. The reduction did not make any difference in blood counts. I had not been diagnosed with any chromosome damage.
I wish you the very best, Rich. Every one is different, but I am grateful for Dacogen.
