Experiences with

Novantrone

I was apparently a perfect candidate for this because I was treated with Novantrone as my first dmt. Then Tysabri for six years which was always coded by the insurance as “chemotherapy”. This basically set up the perfect storm.

Did Novantrone years ago. I will need to check with Ocrevus. Novantrone was 12 doses ever. I only had 4 in a one year span.

My doctor thinks the Novantrone helped, but I have changed my diet to mostly fruits & vegetables, and made major changes in my life...got a divorce and got rid of a lot of stress!

Just trying to find someone else who has tried Mitoxantrone [Novantrone]. Thanks. Jeanne

Then tried IV Novantrone for 3 doses, took 2 months off & then went back on it, but stopped after 2 more doses. Gait got worse & I went from cane for short distances & scooter for long distances, then walker for short distances& now I am in a motorized wheelchair in house & scooter outside of home.

I have even done Novantrone Chemotherapy for 3 1/2 years & had 4 treatments of Tysabri when it first came out. Then I got a call at 9:00 pm from my Neurologist telling me to stop it immediately because of PML.
