FLAG-IDA

Hi nbck112

I hope your treatment is going as well as it can. I didn't have the FLAG IDA as my treatment was back in 2012-13 and I was on the UK ALL 14 trial. 

I did have my immune system knocked down to zero during phase 1 and phase 2 of my treatment  (and pre SCT). Phase 1 I was out of hospital on about day 29 and phase 2 I left at day 37 (although my neutrophils were still too low to be officially sent home but I discharged myself and when I returned 3 days later for bloods they were back above minimum levels). 

As I said it was a different cocktail of drugs though. May be worth posting the same question in the stem cell transplant forum which you can access HERE and then you can copy and paste your post above.

Sorry I couldn't offer any more information for you.

Thanks for your response and advice  I'll post it on there too. 

I too was treated with UKALL14 which I responded to well at first but got to the end of consolidation and my MRD came back positive with 0.1% of my bone marrow cancer!!! Was the transferred to immunotherapy blinatumomab which cleared my bone marrow but a few cells have spread outside of the bone marrow so I'm having FLAGIDA as a last hammer blow hopefully before getting a transplant. 

Thanks for your help!
