It is pretty routine to go to Vidaza in a situation such as yours. It seems to be a "toss-up" between a DLI, Vidaza and sometimes a combination of both. The DLI will bring on more GVHD usually. Generally very few side effects with the Vidaza. My Dr. was thinking about a DLI but I have responded very well to the Vidaza so I'll be on Vidaza for quite a while. I am in my seventh cycle now following relapse. My last three BMBs have been clear (100% donor cells, no mutations) and I am feeling fine.
