Vidaza

Hi kyis,
You know Vidaza is the first drug for MDS - a little more than 50% will respond. Now they combine Vidaza with other drugs for example Revlimid and get much higher response rate.

I should never start Vidaza treatment with WBC 0.8. Can't you get Neupogen or a similar drug?
Kind regards

74 yo, dx MDS Interm-1 2006, supportive treatment with txs, iron chelation and Neupogen until 2010. Thalidomide + Prednisone with positive results 2010-2013. Now trying Revlimid.
