Revlimid chemo response...
Some years ago I thought I was having a positive response to Revlimid (Hgb moved up to 90 from 70 g/L) but my WBC tanked to a dangerously low level. My doc stopped that chemo treatment and tried another low-dose chemo that finally indicated nothing positive. That was enough for me! I decided to go the regular PRBC transfusion route; where I live SCTs are not allowed for those over 65. So my decision regarding chemo was easy! I had no other choice.
