The Vidaza was for a preventative measure. It is theorized but unproven that it helps boost the new immune system. I was slated for 12 months but completed only 10 because my doctor feared it might exacerbate my mild chronic GVHD. So far so good - I'm 4 years post transplant with everything in normal range.
