I tried vidaza for 4 cycles with no success. My counts actually dropped while on this chemo, and my transfusion needs increased, which I was told is common when starting this treatment. Mine did not recover while on this medication. I am now on revlimid and have been transfusion free for 14 weeks. Before revlimid and a lot of prayer, I was transfusion dependent every 1 - 2 weeks.
