Guest guest Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Dear CLL Group, I have CLL/SLL since 1996; tx in 2002 with FR did good for 8 1/2 years then relapsed. MY onc/hem tried Rituxan 3 days and then (Treanda which I reacted to with a sunburn-like rash over my face, body and arms, etc.). All of my skin peeled off. Still fading. The treatment was May 23 thru May 26th. Had Benedryl with the Rituxan. I took Prednisone for the Rash. My Onc said he can't give me any more Treanda because my reaction was too severe. OK, but I don’t want FCR because I don’t like the Cytoxin making me bald. FR is fine I just want to know if there is another combination that I can get that doesn’t make me bald. I will be 72 Jun 25th of this year. I have been getting Procrit. My HGB was 8.8 last time checked. I know that is low! Please send me your thoughts. Sincerely, Joan McEnery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
