Vidaza vs Dacogen
Hello Steven,
You may want to listen to one of the archived MDS webinars entitled "Understanding FDA approved drug treatments for MDS" by Dr. Sekeres from the Cleveland Clinic on the aamds.org website. His opinion seems to be that if Vidaza doesn't work after an adequate trial then he would not recommend trying Dacogen. He also states that counts will get worse before they get better especially in the first 2 months of therapy. He says that of those that will respond, 90% will do so within the first 6 months. How many months of Vidaza did your father have during in first course?
