Subject: Non-hodgkins Lymphoma
Date: 10/26/2006
Iam a 73 year old female diagnosed 2 years ago with stage 3 low-grade b-cell follicular NHL. I was on a drug study from the very begining. I received the CHOP protocol followed by Bexxar- a radio-active immunotherapy. Icompleted all this about 16 months ago and am considered to be in remisson, but all my blood counts had to be monitored about every week since then because of low wbc.rbc, Hg, Platlets and granulocytes. I also developed hypothyroidism from the Bexxar. Ialso have neuropathy and very bad cramps in both my feet and legs. I also started having a bad whelp-like rash about 2 months ago and can't find what is causing that. My question to anyone out there is.Has anyone had the Bexxar treatment and what were there side-effects. I think I was the first person at this center that received this treatment so I can't find anyone to compare. Iwould like any comments .
