Cytoxan plus Revlimid and dexamethasone

by Jade on Sun Jul 15, 2012 4:07 pm

Does anyone have any experience with oral cytoxan for myeloma? My husband has been on low dose Revlimid 10mg. daily and dex 20mg once a week for maintanence after transplant. His Kappa's are starting to go up so the doc is thinking of adding in low dose oral cytoxan. He's been on IV cytoxan before and it worked well, but there were side effects - hair loss, GI sx, is oral as bad? Thank's for your help.

My mom experienced mild nausea while taking oral cyclophosphamide, but she said it was tolerable.
