Hi, I’ve just finished my 4th line of chemo with mixed results.

My oncologist wants me to go on clcyophosphamide.

It’s not one I’ve heard of before.

Any advise on side effects and results of anyone who’s been on it.

Hope everyone is staying safe and keeping away from any germ infested people 😁😷

Hi. I can’t really help but I have heard of people taking it, maybe for breast cancer? It’s pills I think. I hope you get a bit of a break before starting it. I hope you get some good advice from others here. Stay safe! Xoxo

Just curious: were you originally going to do 6 cycles? Which chemo regime are you on?

Hi, my father had this drug with high dose steroids as his chemo for multiple myeloma. He didn’t have any side effects. I dont know about its use with OC but thought I would share his positive experience on it. Good luck x

Hi,i am taking this pills for over 6 months til now,there's no side effects remarkable the only think that i noticed is my hair is not growing, but it is not falling like others chemo and also you got better results with the avastin every 3 weeks ,talk with your oncologist, that's my oncologo told me

Good luck and warm hugs for you

Hi I just finished 21 weeks of this chemo drug along with a steroid and a Velcade shot. I have Amyloidosis, so my regimen is CyBorD. You can get diarrhea, or some nausea possibly, the brand name is Cytoxan. I think most of my bad side effects were from Velcade and the steroid...i got stomach bloat 2 days after chemo day, then body aches last month of chemo.
