Re immune suppressant mycophenolate mofetil

Hi

I have Cmml was diagnosed in March but bennup & down for a t least a year. Had steroids initially felt amazing for the first time in a year.

Had Bone marrow biopsy  have 3 mutant cells.

Not sure what that means

In the meantime at the moment I have various infections going on.

Swollen glands in neck sore mouth & throat,  tummy problems and swollen foot infection.

I have now been prescribed the above but am going on holiday abroad Next week for 2xweeks abroad

I am worried  re side affects  of these meds . Should I contact my oncology team and delay meds?

I want to enjoy some sunshine and warmth. 

Any feed back would be good.  

Thank you

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    I think if you have concerns, then do make contact with your hospital team/clinical nurse specialist for specific advice about your medications.

    If you have any current infections, then check that it is advisable to travel away from the UK at this time. Your hospital pharmacist can advise you regarding the known side effects of your immune suppressant medication. 

    Wishing you the best,
