Vidaza

Dear djopierce,
Very good that a blood specialist will follow your father everyday!

Don't expect too much from the BMB after one cycle of Vidaza - it takes months for that drug to have effect. Remember that he can get a big hematom after the BMB - I always bring a small stone bowel to my BMBs, put it under the place for the BMB and lay on it during 20 minutes to prevent bleeding. My platelets are dysfunctional.

As Cheri wrote nutrition is important. Hopefully your father will be able to drink and eat something.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
