Vidaza (John)

John, My dr. told me that counts will fluctuate during the 1st three to four sessions on Vidaza, which is exactly how it happened for me and others I've talked with. I would go in for CBC every wk. and continued needing red cell transfusions for the first 3 months (or three sessions) on Vidaza. Then, my counts came up to normal and became transfusion independent. However, it seems that many people have different responses to Vidaza. So, you probably need to give it a couple more months to see how it is working for you. My platelets and ANC were not a problem.
