Dacogen

Debbie, I had good luck with Dacogen. Received 12 treatment cycles Sept 07 thru Aug 08. I did need transfusions the first three months but none after that when my counts started rising. I was told to expect those results upfront which made it easier to accept. I was off any treatments for 15 months when I seem to be undergoing a relapse and am now on Dacogen with the possibility of lower dosage or longer rest between cycles.
So keep the faith and hopefully all will be well.
