Hi alawi, sorry you're not feeling well.

I don't understand. Are you refusing Revlimid or is Revlimid not available in Iran?

Regards

Chirley

The company who makes Revlimid (Celgene) can have a program for compassionate prescriptions for patients who can't afford Revlimid.

Mouth ulcers is not a positive sign - they probably depend on the low ANC. Perhaps you could get Neupogeninjections for the low White Blood Cells.
Kind regards

Hi alawe,

I apologise for my ignorance. I just read an article about the lack of medicines in Iran due to sanctions imposed on your Government and the suffering of innocent people as a result.

It's so sad when civilian populations suffer due to politics.

I hope you can get the Revlimid directly through your doctor and Celgene. I wish you all the best.

Regards

Chirley

Biotechnology company Celgene has a Patient Support Program to help people in the U.S. get access to their drugs, including Revlimid. I don't know if they have similar programs in other countries but you can contact them at patientsupport@celgene.com to ask about it.
