Hydroxycarbamide and MND

Hi, 

This is my first post on this forum so apologies in advance if anything is out of place!

My mum has MND as well as a form of blood cancer, she has been informed of hydroxycarbamide with a view to starting the treatment within the next two weeks.

I'm just wondering as to how the side effects of this might interact with my mum's MND condition?

Thanks

  • Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

    I can appreciate your question. 

    Unfortunately, as nurses, we don't have enough expertise to be able to answer this fully. Hopefully, the cancer specialist may be able to comment further on this. Sometimes, they contact other specialists, such as MND specialists, for their feedback on the situation as well.

    I hope this helps,

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
