Charlie, my husband has HH and was diagnosed with MDS in July 2007. Vidaza was the most successful treatment for the past 8 years and he was taking Jadenu for the HH. He transitioned to AML in June, just finished induction, 40 days inpatient, and now loking forward to bone marrow or stem cell transplant. During chemo he was off the Jadenu and his iron levels have not been elevated since. He never had therapeutic phlebotomy. He is 70 and otherwise in good health.

Sheveta, they can now do half-match transplants with children as donors at some hospitals and also using cord blood. In the US there are non related donors, is this a possibility where you are? please consider moderator’s suggestions.

Richard Wagner, my husband was given the same time frame in 2007! Vidaza has worked for 7 years, just recently not working any longer. He is entering a clinical trial at Johns Hopkins in preparation for a bone marrow transplant as his blasts have gone up to 17%. Best wishes to you.
