Anyone on cyclophosphomide?

My other half is hovering aound a GFR of 20ish. Hes reacted to the conventional mmf which his dr thought might help his creatinine levels in such a way that his quality of life does not make it worthwhile taking. It has now been suggested that he tries cylcophospomide which is a chemotherapy. In a sad coincidence my father is taking it for blood cancer and its positive but I was wondering if anyone had taken it for CKD and specifically MCGN.

Many thanks
