Vidaza does not work for everyone, but it is considered about the best drug available for most people with some forms of MDS. I have just completed my 8th cycle of Vidaza (the last three combined with Revlimid) and it has brought my blood counts to about normal. The Vidaza had my counts into the normal range then the addition of Revlimid knocked them down just below normal. The Vidaza made it possible to go into my stem cell transplant (at the end of this week) in good health. I am feeling completely normal (golfed 18 holes today and walked the entire hilly 6 miles without any problem) and this is primarily from the beneficial results of Vidaza.
