A member asked:
What is the duration of severe neutropenia after vidaza treatment for mds? last vidaza cycle ended 20 days ago. gsf given but no response yet.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4-6 weeks: Vidaza can cause prolonged neutropenia which can be followed by remission and recovery of neutrophils....but you need to give yourself 1 to 2 more weeks. On the other hand blood counts can remain very low if the MDS is resistant to Vidaza in which case there may not be any recovery of Neutrophils. A Bone marrow exam can help to differentiate these 2 possibilities and help in deciding the next step
