Apparantly Bob you may have taken the last of it.... you b****rd, but thankyou for the suggestion. Martin if you haven't used leukeran as a first line chemotherapy agent you really must .....its fabulous (When its available obviously). So a switch onto cyclophosphamide then?

[quote user="Martin Atkinson"] Melphalan (Alkeran)[/quote]

sadly same issue as Leukeran re supply! (Tried ListerMunro for Alkeran but still waiting to hear back...)

Speaking to our wholesaler they seem to be getting very small amounts of Leukeran that they are allocating to practices with items on backorder.

Try ListerMunro Group on 02083440500 - they supplied us with the 2mg tablets a few weeks ago. We get most of our human drugs from them now at a fraction of the wholesalers price!

I've never used leukeran as a first line chemotherapeutic agent, it has been reserved for cases on cyclophoshamide which had developed cystitis or severe bone marrow suppression. So I guess you could go the other direction and use cyclophosphamide. Other similar agents could be Melphalan (Alkeran) or if you can afford it L-asparaginase.
