Aml relapse after 3 bmt's

We are headed to oncologist for treatment options after relapse last week. They are suggesting dacogen. Been doing a lot of research and vidaza may be an option as well. Does anyone have any experience with vidaza and/or dacogen with aml?

Also looking at interleukin-2, if anyone has any experience with that.

My partner is 48 and relatively strong considering all the chemo, radiation and transplants. He is pretty beat up emotionally and psychologically, but determined to do whatever treatment options there may be available. We are also investigating clinical trials.

Would welcome any advice or suggestions. Thank you.
