Roger,

My limited understanding (we're new to this - my husband was diagnosed with MDS on 5/26/10) of MDS is that approximately 10% of MDS patients progress to AML, but I have seen some studies that put the number a little higher.
My husband is fixing to start his second week on Vidaza (he gets it 5 days once every 28 days) in an IV in his arm - not a shot. So far, he's done well.
It seems that every single case is different and what works for one might not work for another. Let's hope they find a cure for all kinds.
God bless,

Linda
