I was wondering if others having CLL and been through Chemo, have experienced strokes in the brain not related to heart problems and issues?
Have any patients having gone through RFC expereinced problems physically and continued chronic pain?

I am not trying to find blame with my treatment selection, just curious if others have gone through similar developments.

Kind Regards
Gregory

People suffering from chronic lymphatic leucemia (CLL) can have a kind of "strokes" caused by the methastatic deposits in the brain.

What does FRC mean?

RFC-FCR is a Chemo-Therapy combined treatment Rituxan, Fludara and Cytoxin. It was suggested by my team to me they gave me way to much Chemo and they in the practice prefer not to use this combination as it is very hard on patients. They explained difficult results that were expereinced by patients
