Cyclophosphamide

[SaraEngland]

Is this a new study that we do not know about? I received this from Swedish friend of mine with ME. Her neurologist told her about a new study. I did not know that chemotherapy could possibly save us!

Can someone care to explain? And this something that will be offered to us by the NHS?

Cytoxan/cyclophosphamide is used against lymphoma and life-threatening autoimmune diseases. While rituximab is a very mild 'biologic' drug, cytoxan is very harsh and can kill you. It is a descendant of the mustard gas used in chemical warfare during WWI.

There is already a thread on this which has just been updated with the news of the study
