Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone could help me with experiences of FLAG-IDA treatment? I’m currently on my last day of chemo of FLAG-IDA and feeling pretty rough.
so I guess I wanted to know how long the feeling lasted for other people and how long it took for the neutrophils to come back up afterwards and whether you had GCSF injections after chemo until neutrophil recovery? Basically I just hate hospital and want to see when others where allowed home!!!!!
Thank you so much for any help!
Hi nbck112
i had Flag Ida for relapsed aml three years ago. I actually came out of hospital 3 years ago yesterday ! I was only in for about 10 days, but it took about a month for my neuts to recover. I ended back in my local hospital after about 5 days when my temperature spiked, but it was nice to have a few days at home. Flag is powerful chemo but it got me into remission to proceed to transplant. Hang on in there I know it’s tough but things will get better x
