Can somebody translate for me?

[Guest guest]

My Dad's slip for chemo next week says:

" flu/tx-r--chop-kr "

I'm assuming the FLU is fludarabine.

Tx=treatment or does it stand for

some drug I don't know.

R is rituximab.

CHOP is CHOP (Why are they giving him CHOP now?

Before it was just FCR. I thought they didn't

use CHOP anymore.)

What's the KR?

I will let the more scientifically minded translate your

Dad's chemo slip. If he was on FCR I would certainly be on

the phone first thing Monday morning asking whoever wrote

out the slip to explain it and if he is being changed to R-

chop, why!
