Transplant Pre-Treatment Drugs

Hi All!

I was given a calendar of my protocol today for my BMT and am wondering if other transplantees out there have had any advice or experience with these particular drugs (I am also going to post a thread under "Transplants":

Day -5 - Fludarabine
Day -4 - Fludarabine/ATG
Day -3 - Fludarabine/ATG/Cytoxan (re-start cyclosporin)
Day -2 - Fludarabine/ATG/Cytoxan
Day -1 - Total Body Radiation
Day Zero - TRANSPLANT!!! - WOO WOO!!
Day 1 - Methotrexate
Day 3 - Methotrexate
Day 6 - Methotrexate
Day 11 - Methotrexate

Thanks!!

I had both Fludarabine and Methotrexate in my regime but with cyclophosphamide as well which was definitely the worst! So it is hard for me to say about the others as i was already feeling dreadful. Methotrexate is not that bad or atleast it wasnt for me! However i didnt have radiation, i thought that was just for leukaemia patients?

Good luck, I have my fingers crossed!

Methotrexate (an immunosuppressant) wasn't a problem for my wife either.
