Hi Ann,
Sorry the Vidaza isn't working so well! I'm currently 58, had my BMT at age 57, and have done great. I'm so glad I had it done. I do understand how daunting the prospect is - I was very afraid - but it was not nearly as bad as I anticipated. Overall good health is a big factor in your favor. I documented my transplant and beyond in my blog,
MausMarrow. Best of luck at City of Hope. I've heard nothing but good things about the facility.
Karen
