My 70 yr old mom was diagnosed in April with AML and then a second bone marrow test said her blasts were low enough that it is MDS. We immediately got her on a vegetarian diet and started adding Flaxseed Oil and Cottage Cheese to her diet twice a day (Budwig Diet). Her WBC went up - 2.0 TO 2.5 to 3.3 just before starting VIDAZA. Of course the WBC went down after the initial 7 day treatment to 2.2 and then climbed to 2.5 to 2.8 and lastly 4.5 which is Normal! Her platelets also shot up to 119 after being 45.

Anyone else have great results on VIDAZA? Everything I have heard and read says that it should take at least 3 cycles to see any improvement and 6 months is the norm. Our thoughts are that the diet is doing most of the work rather than the VIDAZA due to the quick response. Any thoughts?
