Sounds like several of us are on the same course.

I started my 2nd cycle of Vidaza on Monday.

Last Monday my weekly CBC draw showed my platelets dropped down to 11000K so I got a transfusion of platelets on Tuesday. This Monday's CBC draw showed my RBC's continued downward so I got two units of blood on Tuesday along wirh the Vidaza. It took over six hours. I hope we don't have to do that very often.

I also have a mild case of perferial neuropathy and all of a sudden my right leg hurts like crazy. My oncologist prescribed neurontin and vicodin but it isn't doing the job. That is why I am sitting up at 3:00 am writing this note. I have ice on it right now and that seems to be helping. If I get lucky I might be able to sleep a little bit here in my recliner.
