Quester,
I am not sure which person responded before me "why not both" to the chemo and diet options, but given my experience i would say both is a good option as well. I have had Vidaza on two separate occasions - 2 or 3 cycles the first time and 6 the second. Vidaza does tend to knock down blood counts a little duriing the beginning of each cycle and into the first week or two, then blood ounts tend to reover. In terms of quality of life, Vidaza is a relatively quick injection, and had very little impact on my energy level. Diet and exercise certainly have had some impact for me a well. I think that getting to a weight where you are feeling good about yourself and that you are in balance helps with chemo and overall well being.
In the end, I too ask the question, why not both? ''''''
