my mom is sickness related to new revlimid tx
My Mom was diagnosed with non 5q mds low-intermediate risk in Novenber of 2009. She did not respond to Vidaza or Dacogen and was accepted into a revlimid study. 2 1/2 weeks into treatment she is in the hospital. Her Hg dropped from 8.7 to 6.7 over the weekend and her WBC went up. She has diarhea and now her kidney function labs are abnormal. Could this be related to the revlimid? Is it just normal side affects? Should she stop taking it? Its the first time since her diagnosis that i have been scared. Any thoughts?
