Flair trial v FCR
I will ask the consultant next time I see here but in the meantime I thought I would ask here The registrar at my last visit s aid when treatment is needed we can offer me the above. On a trial you monitored a lot more closely I would assume but how would it compare to having FCR ? I am thinking

Transformation...
Wanted to let you all know how I was getting on, unfortunately its been confirmed that my CLL has transformed into Richter's syndrome, to say I was devastated was an understatement, biopsy result confirmed my worst fears, I started on an intensive chemo DHAP and
Rituximab
on the 11th March had to stay

BLOOD COUNTS
Starting FCR next week and wondering just how BAD my blood count is - I have just taken sight of this today so being a bit vague about things just want to know whereabouts I would fall - I was on watch and wait for about 8 years WITHOUT knowing it UNTIL I was officially diagnosed just over a month ago

What for the actual treatment should I do? - I am going to be in a ward and overnight stay for the first cycle of "R" and then I get out the next day - I think for day one

Do FCR trials ever end early when the results are very favorable?
Hi I am new to this community but not new to CLL. Was diagnosed in 9/2009 with a WBC of 28.5k after a routine physical and was totally asymptomatic. Just turned 50 also at the time a few months before which was a little ironic. Anyway, other prognosticators like Del 13q, IGVH mutated, low Bm2, and 1

FLAIR Trial - ErnieUK Dehydration in Round 4 FCR (and home made soup)
Apologies forgot to ask about my
Rituximab
dose, as I happily sit there whilst that is done for me (I’ll ask next time). Nausea and sickness were well controlled for the round 4 FCR now I’ve learned the warning signs, and have the biscuits handy.

Roferon/Rituximab/Campath anyone?
Looking for info about these drugs in the managment of systemic Behcet's with particular flaring of uveitis in eyes. Anyone had any joy with them? I have history of depression and psychological issues relating to steroid use and realise some of these drugs can trigger depression. Thanks, Guevara

Low White Cells
I had 3 rounds of Bendamustine &
Rituximab

Rituximab
only, one month ago.

Fatigue
The
Rituximab
infusion that I had in August has not worked for me. I'm currently on steroids & painkillers till they decide what's next. I'm so tired all the time & getting through the day is a struggle.

The future for CLL?
In the last few years, we've seen some great advances in the efficacy of new treatments for CLL, with very encouraging progress towards a cure. There has even been talk that we may have achieved the breakthrough that Imatinib (perhaps better know as Gleevec) was for a sister leukaemia to CLL - CML or

Immunosuppressant's with Rituximab
I am on my 2nd round of
Rituximab
and am having to consider another immunosuppressant along side it, as I still do not feel well and my symptoms get worse as I taper my steroids. Has anybody experienced similar problems and if so, which drug worked well. Any experiences very welcome.
