T-cell LGL leukemia is a rare type of cancer that affects the body's lymphocytes. When taking methotrexate, some common side effects that your husband may experience include:

- Tiredness/fatigue
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Mouth sores
- Bleeding problems
- Low blood cell counts (cytopenias) It's important to remember that everyone responds differently to treatment. If your husband experiences any side effects, he should communicate openly with his healthcare team. They can help adjust dosages or provide additional support to manage side effects while maintaining effective treatment. As one MyLeukemiaTeam member shared, working with their oncologist to adjust medication dosage helped them find the right balance between treatment effectiveness and side effect management.

I think the listed ill affects may be complains reported by very ill people who were part of the test group. My medication which is different from this seems to have listed the exact same problems? The good news is that my medication had no ill affects. I hope my good health explains why I did not have ill affects. I think in the future then may add "brain fog" or trouble thinking to the list of ill affects. I had read an article mentioning this problem in the magazine CURE 9/24. I hope there are no ill affects with medication and you have a happy and healthy future.
