Extended Release Medications
I have read some posts where Extended Release medication forms such as Sinemet CR and Stalevo are being cut in half. These medications are meant to be swallowed whole as cutting them (or chewing them) defeats the purpose of the dose.....a gradual slow release of the active medication so that large "spikes

Any alternative Pneumonia vaccines?
Hi I was diagnosed with CLL in 2007 and had
FCR
in 2010/11, having only 5 of the six treatments. Prior to this I had been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis in the hands which has spread to the knees and feet. The treatment for this is currently subcutaneous methotrexate (20mls) per week.

Anyone know if CLL 10 trial (FCR v Ibrutinib+R) is open for recruitment anywhere in UK?
Saw my consultant today and, unsurprisingly (given my recently enlarged spleen and neck nodes, and a downturn in my HB and platelets), he is suggesting that it is chemo time for me. He wants to start me in early November, after my current chest infection has settled, and he's had time to run cytogenetics

Life after FCR.
(So far I have had no symptoms other than lymph node swellings and a rising blood count - no fatigue or night sweats) I know that everyone's experience with
FCR
is different but one thing that seems clear is that after
FCR
the immune system is less strong certainly for the short term and often for the

Has anybody experienced or read about the problems of recurrent infections following FCR in spite of all blood test results being normal?
Having gone through the pain of
FCR
from August to December last year, I am now in remission with normal blood test results. However, I have suffered from recurrent infections, some more debilitating than others, since March.

Starting treatment FCR on Monday, what should I expect for side effects?
In Canada saying no to chemo is only an option once you have received chemo and failed. Wondering if anyone has words of wisdom to get prepared for chemo, this coming Monday?

My Oncologist has recommended that I begin treatment in July with
FCR
. My numbers are 30 WBC and I have enlarged lymph nodes The change is my spleen is slightly enlarged. My only symptom is my fungus affected toes keep getting infected, and I have to take antibiotics.

Finished FCR - precautions until blood counts stabilise?
What are the precautions we should take and for how long after
FCR
? Have heard of delayed neutropenia and was wondering how long we need to be really careful, we sort of live in a protective bubble now except for work.
