I am sorry for the relapse. It would be difficult/impossible for any of us to know if it is GVHD or a side effect from Vidaza. I have had no side effects from Vidaza and would guess that it is probably GVHD. You are correct, it often helps to have some GVHD to combat the return of MDS. What does your transplant doctor say?

What percentage of donor cells are showing now? Was he ever 100 percent donor cells? Are his blood counts bouncing back now that he has had four rounds of Vidaza? What is his blast count?

I relapsed at about Day +230 and am now have completed four cycles of Vidaza.
