    My husband (76 yrs old) had 8 rounds of vidaza, 5 days, off 3 weeks. We were prepared for all the awful side effects but he tolerated it quite well, few times diarreah (they will give pills for this), tired at the end of the 5 days, but within days energy back. It’s possible he will have more rounds in the future but we wont dread it. As many, many folks will tell you, EVERY person is different. Stay positive, vidaza has an overall good reputation.
