"Treated with Cladribine (2-CDA) in January of 1994 for Hairy Cell Leukemia. Treatment was intravenous and very effective with minimal side effects to date. I have been in remission since June of 1994. My last visit with a Hematologist/Oncologist was in fall of 1995. I was told that as long as blood counts were good and not trending down, there was no need to see a specialist. I see my primary care physician twice a year for a physical exam and have blood work twice a year as well. Some of the listed side effects I may have experienced later in life but may also be associated with age."

Cladribine "Very little side effects. Slight nausea for one day during 5 days of medication. Within a month, the white cell count was near normal. Two years later, cell counts are well within normal range."

"I was diagnosed with HCL 9 years ago, with extremely low blood counts and blindness in one eye due to internal bleeding in the retina area. I was treated for 5 days, 1 dose a day, with cladribine chemotherapy. This drug saved my life. It destroyed the sticky 'hairy cells' that clogged my marrow as well as all the good blood cells, so I got high fever after a few treatment days. Under the supervision of the good medical staff, I survived and healed. Today I am fit and healthy, I was very fortunate to gain my eyesight and health back."
