Accepted Answer

Not very: For most lymphomas fludarabine is not the treatment of choice. The appropriate therapy depends substantially on the subtype of lymphoma.

The only lymphoma in which fludarabine is routinely used at this point is CLL as part of the combination FCR or FR.

Accepted Answer

Many types...: Bronchodilators such as albuterol (Ventolin) or levalbuterol (Xopenex) enlarge the diameter of the airways to help air flow and mucus come out of the lungs. Patients with cough-variant asthma, exercise-induced asthma, or regular asthma also use steroid inhalers (such as Flovent) to reduce swelling, mucus, and "sensitivity" in the airways. Singulair is an another medication that can be used.

Approaching: depression wi multiple modalities is best. There are many
things you can do for depression.  Don't isolate. Spend time w people. Use your support system. Get out. Don’t stagnate at home. Work to get 8 hours or &gt; of sleep per night &amp; eat healthfully.

Question 10

are ther new medications forms on the horizon?

Accepted Answer

Several: Now that we have studies showing that long-term benefits for interferons and Copaxone are likely minimal at best, and that 60% of pts do not do well by 2 yrs, we are starting to see the emergence of far more potent meds.  Gilenya and tysabri (natalizumab) are here.  Tecfedera is close, lemtrada by end of year.  Daclizumab, ocrelizumab, the newer s-1-p drugs being looked at.  Even new drug for spasticity.
