Hi Jacqui

Hi Bill

Just been catching up on site and noticed your posting.

I do not know about infections with Revlamid but I do in general once you start chemo,you do have more chance of infection as your body is at low ebb so more prone to infections.

My husband contacted Septic Pneumonia,that put him in hospital for 22 days 9 in ITU ans left him…[Read more]

Hi Cathy
