First Cycle of FCR (IV)
Because of my age the Hemo Dr. decided
FCR
would get me the best outcome for the longest period of the time in remission. I have read up on this and decided ok. Started First
FCR
Cycle last Wednesday and Day 1 was rough. I went into Chemo shock with the Rituxan drug FC drugs went ok.

Chemo cycles
I am on the Flair trial having
FCR
and have now had three cycles fourth one today and my bloods are back to normal white cell count and platelets are a perfect score , so I asked the question why then do I need more chemo and the answer is simple, all six cycles are recommended to ensure that all traces

Cough post FCR
Hello everyone I completed
FCR
in January and now enjoying what I hope will be a long remission. Bone marrow test had no detectable CLL and my doctor has said this result is the best possible outcome of treatment.

Front Line Treatment in Canada?
Is it all just
FCR
even if you unmutated? Is Ibrutnib approved for all cases as front-line treatment in the USA? Trying to understand options, as he will be needing treatment based on current progression soon. thank you

U-MRD6 is the new MRD-
MRD6 may become increasingly relevant if venetoclax-based regimens and the addition of novel agents to chemoimmunotherapy achieve U-MRD6 in more patients than
FCR
.

Neulasta side effects
I am going through
FCR
and I had a rough time after the 4th round. I am thinking that it was the Neulasta shot that did the most damage. Earlier in my treatment, my oncologist mentioned a possibility of reducing the dosage of pegfilgrastim.

Madopar CR
Has anyone had any experience with this? How does it compare with normal Madopar and would it be useful for bedtime?

FCR, WHAT IS THE AGE LIMIT FOR FCR OR IS IT MORE ABOUT FITNESS
FCR
is one Arm of the trial so am I right to assume that my age is not an issue? I am pretty fit and do not have any co-morbidity.

Update: No FCR, we will start Ibrutinib
The doctor suggested
FCR
will be most efficient but due to the age we will try Ibrutinib (which is a relief since I did not want to go for chemo) The doctor said we still have several months...so we will be doing the blood work on monthly basis and start somewhere after New Year I guess.

Systemic therapy - FCR: Day One
Chemo was way too eventful today. For the first treatment the nurses give the iv chemo slowly over a period of hours so that they can monitor for any allergic reactions...well, I ended up having an allergic reaction to it so they stopped and gave me Benadryl and steroids to help calm my body down. It
