Vidaza vs SCT

Hi Beryl,
I don't think I have seen any reports about treatment with Vidaza compared to SCT. As far as I understand you can choose SCT if you don't have too much symptoms from other diseases and you will have about 60% chance to survive with or without chronic GVHD.

If you choose treatment with Vidaza you will hopefully have some years with good quality of life - we don't know how long a patient can respond but it is common that the patients try other drugs because they don't respond at all or stop responding.

It should be interesting to know during how long time memers of this forum have been treated with Vidaza and had a good response .
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
