Welcome and sorry you're here! My husband was diagnosed in June. It's definitely a roller coaster ride. Bruce isn't on Vidaza (yet). When you first read about the disease and the side effects of the drugs used to treat it, as well as how long it takes to see a response, it's a downer to put it mildly. But as Bruce and I learn more about it, we have mellowed out a bit. No dietary advice from us other than when you reach a certain age, you should probably eat better than a teenager.
