Don't give up
I agree with Dick, don't let him give up and don't you give up. My husband has had 13 rounds of Vidaza and his blood counts are good. He has other health problems. namely congestive heart disease. He spent a week in the hospital with a collapsed lung and came out feeling so weak and depressed. Depression is not like him. The cardiologist had given him a new med and when I finally looked it up the side effects were terrible. One was fainting and he was doing that, falling and I was so afraid he was going to hit his head and have a bleeding in the brain. I am calling the cardiologist today and we are going to have a sit down. Maybe you need to explore all the side effects of your father's meds. It maybe something else besides the vidaza that is causing his problems. Above all GET ANOTHER DOCTOR. If the doctor will not talk to the family and explain what is happening, then do change.
God bless you and your family.
