Faye,
I am now the longest Patient in Auckland on Azacitidine. Its nearly 2 & a half years now. Have not needed a transfusion since 5th cycle. My treatment has been 7 days every 28 days (usually Mon-Fri then Mon & Tues). The Redness you experience can be best relieved with Calamine Cream - but not cured. I am aware of some patients who use a rotation of sites - stomach, arms, thighs (but in my experience legs are not pleasant).
I may be Contacted on <brian@teddybearsgigguide.net.nz>
