I'm starting Azacitidine 100mg Inj for my MDS treatment and I'm nervous about the potential side effects. Has anyone else been through this? I'd love to hear about your experiences, both good and bad. Also, any tips on managing side effects would be greatly appreciated! I'm especially worried about the more serious side effects like infections, bleeding, and severe skin problems. How common are these, and what should I be looking out for? I've read the patient leaflet, but real-world experiences are always more helpful. Thanks in advance for sharing!

I was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) a few months ago and started treatment with Vidaza 100mg Inj. Azacitidine has been a game-changer for me. It's helped my body's cells grow more normally and slowed down the cancer cells. I wanted to share my experience and hear from others who might be going through the same thing. The urgent side effects are scary, but I've been lucky to avoid them so far. I'm curious to know if anyone else has had similar experiences or any tips on managing the side effects. Also, is anyone using Azacitidine for AML? Please share your stories.
