We are very sorry. I can empathize with your immediate reactions, it is difficult. Vidaza (azacitidine) saved/extended my life. The hope is that she tolerates it well. I had very few problems with the injections in my stomach. I took anti-nausea pills each day with the shots. Not sure if they were necessary, mostly as a precaution. The very important consideration is that the anti-nausea pills will cause constipation which can be very serious. Be sure to take something like Miralax while getting the shots. If you have any questions be sure to ask here on the forum. There are many who have been/are going through the very similar situation. We wish the best for your Mum.
