I wonder if anyone can compare Lenalidomide treatment with rcvp for non Hodgkin lymphoma please?

  • Hi  and a warm welcome to this corner of the Community although I am always sorry to see folks joining us. I am Mike and I help out around our various Lymphoma groups. I was diagnosed way back in 1999 at 43 with a rare, incurable but treatable type of Low-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma eventually reaching Stage 4a in late 2013 so although my Lymphoma ‘type’ may be different I do appreciate the challenges of this journey rather well.

    What of the many types of the NHL do you have?

    I have not had Lenalidomide (also known as Revlimid) but had some of the drugs in RCVP in my R-EPOCH....... There are group members who have had Lenalidomide and indeed RCVP so let's look for them to pick up on your post.

    You can also do a site search for Lenalidomide and RCVP using the search tool Mag near the top - put in Lenalidomide or RCVP then select 'anywhere' and this brings up the older posts and as always you can hit reply and see if the members are still using the site.

    I am assuming that you may have had RCVP and are now moving onto Lenalidomide as a second line treatment?
