Dacogen

Hi vikas,
You know there are many posts about Dacogen from members. The drug Vidaza (probably just as expensive as Dacogen) has showed better treatment results (about 50% responders) than Dacogen and most doctors think that Vidaza should be given first. It is difficult to give any chemo when your father's platelets are so low - can't he receive platelet transfusions?
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
71 yo, dx MDS Interm-1 May 2006, transfusion dependent from dx, Desferal and Exjade for iron over load, Neupogen for low white blood cells, last platelet count 32
