Small lymphocytic lymphoma treatment - Any idea on IVC or conventional treatments.

Hi, There is no specific evidence pointing to the efficacy of Vitamin C. There are reports of improved responses, but these studies are pretty small (meaning only a few participants – and so estimating how applicable the treatment is to a larger population cannot be done) to make a recommendation to support its routine use. If you choose to continue your treatment now, it would be a good idea to undergo screening for Glucose-6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, in order to prevent complications with the blood. There are other chemotherapy options after Fludarabine and Rituximab, however, since cure is not achieved with standard treatment – participation in a clinical trial would be recommended. Stem cell transplant is currently not routine and is usually performed under a trial setting. Best candidates are those who achieve complete response (all traces of the lymphoma is eliminated during the initial therapy).
