My cancer is in remission – what does this mean?
This is despite the encouraging news that
FCR
patients with 'mutated status' CLL exceeding 7 years remission aren't experiencing relapses.

Sinemet: factors affecting variability - gastric emptying
Sage et al 1994 summarily present factors which affect availability of levodopa. Roos et al 1993 compare C/L levels after empty-stomach ingestion with C/L levels after C/L has been ingested with a meal. Chen et al 2012 describe a newer form of controlled release Sinemet: gastric-retentive extended-release

Hospital response to lack of monitoring after first FCR
So please note that everyone on
FCR
, if you aren’t already aware of it. There is nothing I can really do to up my iron. Blood transfusion is only answer if HB drops below 75 again.

First. FCR treatment
Happy to report first day (of two) of treatment done and feel fine. Bit od a sticky moment half an hour in, feeling palpitations and breathless. Nurses think this was due to steroids I’d been given initially to counter any adverse reaction. After ECG and doctor checking me over, treatment continued

Questions for consultant?
Started
FCR
Chemo due to fatigue (On Cycle 1) . No swollen lymph nodes etc but CT scan showed Spleen enlarged and lesions on Liver. Biopsy revealed CLL progression but was told healthy bone marrow was compensating.

Second day of first FCR
So second dose of
FCR
with the long dose of Rituximab. Got a bit hot and tired at the end, but no nausea or other nastiness and felt fine since. Even managed a quorn shepherds pie after, though it’s lying like a stone on my tummy now!

Starting FCR on Monday
After lots of ups and downs, I am on the FLAIR trial and starting
FCR
on Monday. I’ve tapped into a wealth of advice here, but would welcome any pearls of wisdom anyone can offer. I do have a question though - does the treatment get worse the longer into it you go?

What should I ask?
I have list of questions if they recommend
FCR
chemo and list if it's ibrutinib ( both were mentioned at last months consultation) or trial. Would appreciate any input. Maybe you will have something I didn't think of. Also when treatment was time for you to start, were you ever given a choice?

What is the best first-line treatment combination for CLL?
In summary we know that
FCR
is a very good treatment for some.

Night sweats are back
Finished 6 rounds of
FCR
last May. Follow-ups have been good and I feel good but over the past couple of weeks the night sweats have returned. Contacting my Onc. today but how worried should I be?
