Thalidomide

Hi tytd,
Thank you for asking about my medication. You know my dx was myelofibrosis during more than one year because I have very severe bone marrow fibrosis. Thalidomide 50 mg/day in combination with Prednisone (tapered during 3 months) has showed good results in some patients with fibrotic bone marrow.

In Sweden only patients with Myeloma that has not responded to first line drugs can get Revlimid (Thalidomide costs about 13§/caps and Revlimid about 200§/tabl - I think that is the reason).

Hope you are doing OK!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
