Just wondering if anyone has any information about whether there are other drugs that can reduce blasts other than Vidaza. My mother just finished her 5th cycle of Vidaza and the doctors feel this medications isn't working and it is time to switch to something else. This will be the 3rd switch in a year. First TLK then Vidaza and I think they are leaning towards Dacogen now. Reason I am asking this is because my mothers peripheral blasts were zero, on 7/6/09 they were 1% and on 7/13/09 they were at 3%. She has received 7 neupogen injections over the past month and I am wondering if they are responsible for this or if it is something much worse. Just curious when Vidaza isn't an option what else is there?

Thanks for your support!
