Hello Birgitt-A,
Yes, the 4th week tx was actually a big relief, the additional 1 week gives so much additional peace as well. Just wary of the side effects of the high dose of 60,000. She did not face any problem, other than 3 needle pricks(40+10+10) weekly.
She plans to give another try with Lenalidomide, as earlier she was unable to tolerate beyond 3 days. Does erythropeitin enhance the effect of Lenalidomide, and can the 2 be taken together for better results?
Thanks for taking time to respond to my post and many questions.
