Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone knows the difference between BEAM chemo and R FCM chemo? My onocolgist wants me to have BEAM chemo prior to my transplant but I've read about all the dangers including the problems it can cause to your kidneys. Is R FCM an alternative option?
Thanks in advance

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the help!
Dear Irishcailin,
I see you have had no replies to your query. It would be best to talk to your own Oncologist again. These chemotherapy regimes would be very specific to you and your diagnosis. Do not hesitate to contact the Irish Cancer Society and speak to a nurse in confidence on our freefone helpline at 1800-200-700 about any other queries that you may have. We are here from 9AM -7PM, Mon – Thur. and 9am – 5pm on Friday.
Kind regards
Cancer Information Service Nurse
