Vidaza
Dear Ziad,
Increasing blast cells in bone marrow or blood means - as you have understood - that the disease is progressing. Vidaza seems not to be so effective yet and we don't know if more cycles will have better effect.
If I was in your father's situation I should not dare to receive a fourth cycle of Vidaza with so low neutrophils without protection from Neupogen or a similar drug.
There are other drugs for AML but they are much stronger than Vidaza and can give severe adverse reactions with very low counts.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
