Revlimid

Has anyone with complex chromosome abnormalities, including 5q- used Revlimid with good results? What levels were absolute neutrophils, hemoglobin and platelets when treatment was started?

Revlimid

Hi Jill,
I have not been treated with Revlimid but read about the drug. Here is an article about MDS treatment. As you can see the author writes that about 26% of patients without isolated 5q- will respond to Revlimid.
