Low neutrophils
I have been prescribed another 8, G-CSF twice weekly and was told that if these didn't work then my next step would be
FCR
. I have remained stable for two years and feel that
FCR
is an extreme step to take when other options may be available to correct my neutrophils.

Help, FCR OR BR?
My oncologist has telephoned me today giving me an option of either
FCR
or BR. As I am 11q del I thought I had only one option! She told me that the FLAIR trial will be starting in 6-8 weeks time but as my WBC is at 387 and my Hg is 95 she would like me to start treatment now.

Curcumin and CoQ10
My husband has PSP and is taking the drugs sinemet CR, Apo-levocarb, gabapentin, tyrazodone and magnesium glycinate. Is it safe to take curcumin and CoQ10 along with these drugs?

LATE ONSET NEUTROPENIA MAY BE A COMPLICATION OF FCR (or rituximab, obinutuzumab or other anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody infusions - Admin)
Here's another EHA abstract on the under-recognized issue of late-onset neutropenia as a result of
FCR
. I thought that this might be interesting to those of us on this site that have undergone or may undergo
FCR
. See the graph above.

How do I go about getting a second expert opinion without upsetting my haematologist consultant?
I have previously posted on being concerned about still having lumps in my neck during
FCR
treatment. I have now had 5 of the 6 cycles of treatment and the last treatment at best only reduced the lumps marginally.

Husband's anemia (PRCA) interrupted FCR last fall; cyclosporin worked until it was discontinued. We're looking into next treatment steps...
any suggestions or guidance would be much appreciated!

Low platelet count. How long before this recovers ?
However, my platelet count is now 68 and my consultant wants this to recover before my next
FCR
and has put me on Folic acid tablets. Does anyone know how long this might take ? I'm keen to get on with the treatment, feel well, played tennis yesterday and don't feel like a 75 year old ! David.

On FCR and mum has shingles
The title says it all ! Im on round 4 and have a little neutropenia after my chemo's. My mum has shingles which she gets a lot. How long should i stay away for? she had it 2 weeks ago and her rash has just gone. I dont want to risk anything as i believe shingles is bad if your on Chemo.

Rehearsing being 'In Remission'
I'm still feeling a bit "knocked about" by the chemo to be honest, and spent the weekend in hospital with fever and high grade neutropenia three weeks following my last round of
FCR
, but I'm home now, and getting on with the business of recovering.

Is there anything that can be done if lumps in neck remain after 6 cycles of FCR treatment?
Due to have 5th cycle of
FCR
treatment next week and although lumps in neck are much reduced they are still significant in size : two of them about 2.5cm across, one on each side under the jaw line.

Anybody out there had 7 cycles of FCR treatment for CLL rather than the usual 6?
I have had 4 treatments but have concerns, shared by my consultant, that I will still have lumps in my neck after the 6th and final treatment. Wondering what other options there might be rather than just going back on watch and wait with lumps in my neck.
