    My husband is going for his first treatmeant with Vidayza and I have to admit we are scared to death. I am trying to be strong but we both scared of the upcoming side effects. Any advise? Thank you so much.

    When my wife started Vidaza we didn’t start the anti-nausea meds quick enough, take the meds before first treatment. Watch for oral infections and pneumonia. Don’t assume something different is nothing to be concerned about, ask questions and if still in doubt ask more questions. Dr’s are only human and asking questions keep them aware of your concerns. I wish you and your husband good luck with treatment. Neil

    Wash your hands, wash your hands, wear a mask in public and be vigilant in personal hygiene. This can lower your nutriphils (white cell count)…….you become immune deficient and need to be very careful about where you go, washing hands is key and just thinking ahead. Soap and water, all day long. Take the anti-nausea meds, and always always ask questions when you have them. Read about neutropenia, which is what you will be when your nutriphils are below 1.0. Know your numbers. Food is VERY IMPORTANT ALSO WHEN YOU ARE NUTROPENIC. No raw foods, no under cooked meats, no undercooked shell fish No fruit and salad, fresh. Only cooked fruits and veggies until you go back up to 1.0 and above.. And don’t let your dog lick your face……he can bring in germs from outside…..no gardening. Just be vigilant and try to think ahead of this. If the vidaza brings up your red blood cells you won’t need to be transfused….you will get through the nutropenia and low platelets…..just be aware, know your numbers and ask questions….be vigilant.

    Felt very bad to hear you’re your husband as he is suffering of bone marrow cancer and blood cell disorders. According to one of my friend, a college assignment help service provider, Bone marrow transplants treatment can be helpful. In which, by taking very high dose chemotherapy you can cure some types of cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma and if you take this treatment, there may be a better chance of curing the cancer than with standard treatment.
