Fludara Reviews

Show: for
Fludarabine/rituxan in 2003. Had a bad reaction and ended up in icu on vent, chest tube, trach for 2 months. Had cardiomyopathy also with double pneumonia. Partial remission
Reduced size of lymph nodes
it worked. The side effects were devastating and life changing, but I am still alive.
Working / Worked
No major issues, no hair loss
Am basically in remission, but with four days of Fludara scheduled next week ... for good measure, I reckon.
Working / Worked
I had Fludarabine in 97. It cleared up my bone marrow issues but I still had an area around the adrenal gland area. I was in partial remission till 2000.
Side effects thinning hair, nausea that was fixed with Zofran and Kytril.
My biggest issue was that it knocked the heck outta my white counts. Enough to get a ton of neuprogen to get though chemo.
Working / Worked
Last Treatment I received in 2002 In remission since have having tried most else.
AS ABOVE
Cytoxan + Fludara gave me three year remission. Infusion for three days every three weeks. Worked beautifully and I was able to continue work throughout. And alhtough I did become neutropenic, I was able to avoid infection.
was in remission for two years
