AML successful treatment

Hi all,
Since I first posted to this discussion in January 2025 so much has changed in my AML treatment - and all for the better! This is an update on the treatment approaches that have kept me in remission for more than 4 years.

I transitioned off my routine of one week a month of 3 Dagogen infusions in August of 2025. Instead I began a self-administered weekly Inquovi pill which contains 60 mcgs of Dacogen. After about 6 months on that pill, my Mayo team suggested switching to an injection to deliver the Dacogen because my key blood numbers were not bouncing back well. The Inquovi pill only comes in 60 mcgs and cannot be divided. In contrast the injection strength is linked to my BMI so I only need about 1/3 of the Dacogen in the pill. I have been going to Mayo for the weekly injections for 4 months now with very good blood results.
I am so lucky to have the Mayo team to guide this journey. It has allowed me to live a happy and active life, despite my 81 years. For those of you also on this journey, I hope you take courage in the fact that AML researchers are always testing and uncovering new options for us.
Linda

@lindagi
Thank you for sharing your AML journey. You mentioned that INQOVI only comes in 60mg.
I just started INQOVI on Tuesday 6/23 however my prescription is 35/100mg.
35mg of dectabine and 100mg of cedazuridine (allows INQOVI to be taken by mouth). My blood draws are back to weekly at least for this first cycle. My cycles are 1 INQOVI for 2 nights every 42 days. The info packet said it can take up to 4 cycles for numbers to improve. At that rate it maybe mid-December before we know how well this new treatment is working. You hit the nail in the head with posting about the researchers and the terrific progress being made!
Healing prayers for all!
