Dacarbazine
Bleomycin

These are the 4 medications they have me on I get my treatment every other Wednesday for 6 months (i started on the 16th of September) i don't know the dose amount they are giving me (i weigh 120 and i am 5'4) oh and possibly stage 4 depending on if my bone marrow biopsy comes back positive or not.
