Lenolidamide

[Howie40]

I had a relapse of CD20 positive large B Cell lymphoma in left forearm last October after being in remission for 8 years following R-CHOP. Recently finished 5 months of Bendamustine/Rituximab infusions followed by 18 days of radiation. Oncologist is starting me on Lenalidamide (Revlamid) regimen in a week. Any information on side effects experienced with Lenalidamide would be very much appreciated.

Hi Howie,

I'm sorry that you have not gotten a response to your inquiry until now.

I have not had direct experience with Lenolidamide, but a close friend that has Multiple Myeloma is taking it, and I have discussed it a few times with my CLL expert doctor.

There are published online lists of side effects and precautions from reputable sources:

rxlist.com/revlimid-side-ef...

revlimid.com/mm-patient/abo...

chemocare.com/chemotherapy/...

I hope you can avoid all of the listed problems while taking it.

Len
