To answer about the Vidaza causing nausea - yes for me it did on my first cycle. I took Zofran which helped, but I still felt nauseous, just not as bad. I do however get motion sickness pretty easily too.
How is your dad feeling otherwise?

My dad always downplays how he feels so we ask him what his number is 1-10 out of 10 to really understand him. On monday he says he is an 8/10. Dr. M was really hesitant about giving him blood because he feels that it might interfer with the transplant but he was having so many symptoms that he ordered 1 U of packed red cells yesterday. He now says he is an 8.5/10. He is talking better and seems more like himself. His Hgb went down to 7.2 this week!! Waaaay too low but thats this awful disease for you. I just hope his marrow can natually raise his Hgb. How are you feeling so far other than your slight nausea?
