I really haven’t been feeling too good just lately and around 2 months ago my night sweats came back with a vengeance and my back started itching, all the symptoms that my cancer has returned.
I phoned my CNS 3 weeks ago and told her about this and a PET scan was arranged for me, the results show there has been an “uptake” of my lymphoma. 😥
So from Mon 16th of Aug I am back on treatment again, my regimen will be Rituximab and Lenalidomide.
The history of cancer drugs is fascinating, for instance Bendamustine is a direct descendant of mustard gas and the history of Lenalidomide is one of an other “bad” drug turning good.
