"I was put on this medication for the 10 months of my chemotherapy treatments. My Hodgkin's lymphoma symptoms greatly improved while using this drug. More energy, improved appetite, and overall sense of well-being. The important thing is taking it early in the morning or it will keep you awake at night. I also received this medication through my IV once before starting chemotherapy when I was in the hospital with RSV and pneumonia. I wish I could stay on this medication permanently as I felt so good on it, but my oncologist said it was time to come off after chemotherapy was finished."
