Fludara Reviews

Show: for
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
