I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and CLL Leukemia in June 2009. By August, I was critically anemic and losing weight uncontrollably. The Dr. placed me on IV chemo, including Rituxan, Cytoxan, and Fludarabine at 4-5 week intervals. The treatment literally saved my life and has given me a future. It's tough for three days after the drugs are administered, I can't eat or drink much during that time and keep it down, but thereafter OK again. This medication helped me, my blood numbers are going in the right direction, body weight is easier to maintain, and energy levels greatly improved! It's worked for me.Read More Read Less
