Vidaza

Dear Ziad,
Your father must be strong - though his counts are low - since he has been able to continue the Vidaza treatment. Good that Tacozin and other antibiotics have effect on his fever. He is getting good care with blood and platelet txs.

Question 1: I have already sent this abstract about Neupogen and similar drugs http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21900223. Give it to your doctor and ask what he thinks about this info.

Question 2: Most doctors evaluate the effect of Vidaza after 6 cycles. It is common that you have to wait for the response. I can't understand how doctors can inform about how many months we are going to live - nobody knows that. That kind of info will only lead to that the patient and his beloved ones loose hope.

You are very brave and your support important for your father.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
