MDS

MDS on Vadaza going on cycle 5. During the last cycle bumps started to appear on my thighs and calves. It was dx as ERYTHEMA NODOSUM. Curios if anyone else has had similar experience.

Doc thinks it may have been a side effet of the Vadaza and has oferred me the choice of continuing with Vadaza or going to another drug. This one is by IV and for 5 days Since I chose continuing with Vadaza he did not mention the altterante chemo.

Can someone tell me what other chemo they can offer for MDS and what, if any, are the side effects and is it as effective as Vadaza.

I'd appreciate hearing from you prior to talking to my Onc next weeks.

Thanks all
God bless
Roger
