Neil, you referred to remembering that the treatment is temporary? I've not been on Vidaza yet, but it's my understanding that treatment continues until it's no longer working. I don't think this patient is a transplant candidate. And I may be wrong here, but don't your counts vary while on Vidaza? For instance, maybe your ANC tanks in 10 days, but then recovers for a while before the next treatment. Couldn't you ease up on restrictions during the period of time it was up? Food for thought anyway!
