I had Fludarabine in 97. It cleared up my bone marrow issues but I still had an area around the adrenal gland area. I was in partial remission till 2000.
Side effects thinning hair, nausea that was fixed with Zofran and Kytril.
My biggest issue was that it knocked the heck outta my white counts. Enough to get a ton of neuprogen to get though chemo.
