    So glad you are responding well to Vidaza. My husband responded well for several years and had a SCT after 59 months on Vidaza. He had a consult with a transplant doctor after two years on Vidaza, and the doctor said, “Ride this remission as long as you possibly can.” At that time, he had a biopsy and was entered into the registry and we found out that he had multiple perfect matches. So he rode the remission as long as he could and we lived our lives around the treatment schedule. We are now at Day +60 and doing well enough so far. Best wishes, Stan.
