He doesn't like the 3 shots in stomach for 7 days. My dad (72) has MDS RAEB with excess blasts. Won't see results from vidaza until after 2 or more cycles. Is there a diet you should be on with MDS? dee |
I have had MDS since 7/15/03. Only thing I take is Procrit 40,000 ML, injected once a week. I have had 346 units of blood since 2003, I get 2 units every 2 or 3 weeks depending on CFT level. Have never used Vidaza. Never heard of a special diet. I feel pretty good, except for being tired. I am now 81, looking forward to at least 90, I hope. You can't compare numbers they vary with each person. Best for your Father.
