Birgitta-A, very good news that Revlimid+Prednisone has increased your Hb.
My mothers doctor does not think that Prednisone will work for her, but he would like her to try Lenangio (Lenalidomide in India) once again. In the first attempt, she was able to take Lenangio-5 mg, only for 3 days and had to discontinue as she could not tolerate it.
Do you know if she can try a reduced weekly dose, say twice a week or alternate days? Maybe I can suggest this to her doctor?
Also, is there any difference between the medicine in India - Lenangio(generic Lenalidomide) and Revlimid? Maybe Revlimid will be better tolerated.

Thanks.
