So sorry to hear of this. Don't give up on the Vidaza just yet. It takes a few cycles to get it going and its typical to see the counts drop after the first cycle. I mean counts tend to get worse before they get better. It might take a few cycles to get it going. I think what the Doctors are telling you is that given your husbands age its too risky to try another transplant so the task at hand is to control his relapse and keep him comfortable. Sorry you have to go through this and I hope everything works out. These things are often as hard or if not harder on the family and caregivers than it is on the patient.
All the Best - Steve
