It all started with tingling of the hand and feet. Some time after I was totally confused and I lost coordination. Then I felt scared. I was taking Fludarabin as a cure and it turn out that I feel sicker. Maybe I am completely wrong about these symptoms but one thing is sure, Fludarabine caused decrease in the number of my blood cells. I haven't seen yet my oncologist but my GP thinks that those symptoms can be related with number of my blood cells. What do you think?

My husband was through whole scenario you just described. He was scared too, and thought that it is OK to be scared. Eventually, after number of analysis and tests, his oncologist told us that all those symptoms were because of decreased number of blood cells. Number of blood cells decreased because of Fludarabine. It is really good medication but not every person can stand it. If you want to help yourself, ask your oncologist for advice.
