Hi Cal ....

Boy, this is really tough, isn't it .......? I'm so sorry to hear that your dad ( and you ) are going thru this ....

I haven't a clue about the Vidaza and why they wouldn't start it right away ... is he just not strong enough to tolerate chemo ??

As far as you trying to manage this from 3,000 miles away sounds super difficult .. do you have any other family, family friends, etc. that live near him ? If not, perhaps a Clinical Social Worker at a nearby hospital would have some ideas for you/ him . Could he move ? Could you move ? ... I know, sounds impractical.... just throwing some ideas out there ...

Let us know how things are going.... O.K. ?? Oh ! .... and get educated the best you can and be ready to 'go to bat' for him with insurance companies, Dr.'s etc.

Take care...... Ann
