AML -adult

Dear Doug or anyone else with info:

My mother was recently diagnosed with Adult - Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
At age 79, she was advised no active treatment. I have done a search and discussed the use of Vidaza in MDS and AML with an american hematologist.
It has positive survival outcomes in AML with good tolerability. However, it seems unavailable in Canada.
Does anyone have experience in using this medication? Obtaining it in Canada and its cost? or assistance in getting it?

Thanks - David
