    Hi all. I am new to this forum. My father is 87 and was diagnosed with CLL almost 17 years ago (I am 54 and was diagnosed 10 years ago). He underwent treatment for CLL twice, and about 9 months ago, developed MDS. He’s been on Revlimid since being diagnosed. Dad is an EXTREMELY active man (maintains his home, cares for my handicapped brother, maintains the 5 acre lawn and facilities at our church, etc.) and the fatigue from Revlimid has definitely affected his quality of life. I’d be interested in hearing what other Revlimid users have done to lessen the fatigue.

    I have MDS but the chemo I was on was decitabine for 10 days and 3 weeks off only had to rounds and my biopsy came back clear….horrible body aches but nothing else.

    How often does he get Revlimid?

    He takes it orally, once a day.
