Hi There

Wow, this sounds very interesting. I'm assuming that any alteration in the Vidaza dosage would need to be in timeous consultation with my Dad's haemotologist? How open are doctors to these types of changes? We were told that he should show some response to Vidaza around the 3 cycle which is obviously too soon if I read some of the posts on this forum.

I'd like to ask another question - I have noticed that some people have indicated that they have "excess blast cells" - what does this mean (apologies for my ignorance!)?.

I really appreciate the support.

Regards
Alison
