    Hello All!

    My 81 yr. old dad has had MDS for 3 yrs., went on VIDAZA at his time of diagnosis. Did that for 17 months until he had improved as much as Dr. said he could on VIDAZA. Dad has 5q deletion and so dr. recommended Revlimid. Dad has been on it ever since and is doing well. However side effects include constant diaharea and skin dryness.

    Good luck to all out there who suffer with MDS and those who care for them.
