Vidaza

My counts were really low the first couple of months. If i was below 1000ANC he would wait till my counts came up. He lowered my dose for a couple of months and eventually i was back to my original dose. Then my counts were sletter and my 13% blasts were undetected!My doc said the counts were suppose to go down and that showed that the drug was working. He said it was a war between the good and bad cells so after the good cell army got strong it would defeat the bad and that is exactly what happened!
