My mom was diagnosed in the summer of 2015 with Aplastic anemia started treatment NJ with Procrit injections. Those procrit injections lasted her until the fall of 2016 when transfusions started for low hemaglobin,during that course of treatment she moved in with here in PA. In December 2016 we decided to start Vidaza treatments. January’s treatment was at 100% for 5 days then off for 3 weeks. February’s treatment at 100% she could only handle it for 2 days then everything started going haywire. 2-3 blood trans fusions a week with platelets that lasted for about 3 weeks until she balanced out. Then March & April’s treatment were lowered to 70% no all of a sudden hemaglobin will not bounce back. She just started May treatment after having 2 transfusions in the last 2 weeks.
Has anyone else had this happen?? Has anyone tried Vidaza then switched to Decitabine because it looks like Vidaza isn’t going to work.
Thanks
