Stopping Cytoxan Early
I'm thinking about cancelling my last two doses of Cytoxan. My first infusion was 1200mg, 2nd 1400mg, 3rd, 1600mg, 4th 1800mg. I was sick for three weeks solid after the 1800mg. My doc wants to see my wbc count come down more. He thinks we have the disease on the run, blood work looks as good as it has in 17 years. And so wants to ramp up the last two infusions to 2000mg and maybe 2200-2400 for the last one. Sinus, Lung, Eye and Ear involvement are all improved. Fatigue and weakness are horrible but I had a wegeners stroke so it may be that. I still have joint paint, cns issues and Gi involvement. Serious stuff but improved and I'm not hospitalized currently.
Is there efficacy in higher doses? For how long?
Is 2 more months of severe nausea and bed life worth the trouble?
Any help here is appreciated.

Best wishes,
