Thanks for your reply, Richard. I appreciate you sharing your experience. Wishing you all the best! I’ll likely post an update as my dad’s treatment continues. This is a great outlet.
Thanks again!

My dad will be starting his first round on Monday. Thanks for sharing your experiences so far.

Hi all. New to posting but have read through a lot of posts. My dad was diagnosed this Dec with MDS RAEB-2, intermediate-1 / -2. His oncologist tried him on revlimid end of Dec. as he has the del5q, but he had every side effect in the book (and some not–major swelling of forearms and face, up until last week) so we went for a second opinion. He will be starting vidaza on Monday and don’t really know what to expect. We are staying positive. He’s 74 and was otherwise very healthy. We’ve been told vidaza is very tolerable, but after our experience with Revlimid, I’m very worried about side effects.
