This is very sad news, slip up 2. My condolences on the passing of your husband. We had so hoped that the Vidaza would sustain your husband's counts, and it did seem to be working at the end of last year. You were so supportive of him, asking questions, finding out what the various drugs do, and always working to make him comfortable. The doctors and drugs did their best but we know it was your love that got him through these last years, and I hope you can find comfort in that knowledge.
