This was a horrible few months it basically means slowly intensifying the amount of chemo.Frown  I had a bone marrow test at the start which was ok. i got three lumbar punctures. 3 bags of doxorubicin which made my urine red! 5 pushes of vincristine which were ok. 2 asparaginase muscular injections! ouch!! and 1 bag of cyclophosphamide, the most hated chemo ever!! it irritated my bladder, made me sick and my nose tingle! i hated it with a passion! i got 8 cytarabine pushes. i was also on thioguanine tablets and dexamethasone steriods!  I was floored for months and i was neutropenic all the time! But thankfully i recovered in time for my next course of treatment!
