My cat has been on Leukeran for a little over two years without
consequence. He is FeLV-, intestinal lymphoma so I don't know if the
type of cancer plays a roll in side effects of the drug. He started
out on the higher dose, two 4mg tablets at one time every two weeks
but the oncologist switched him to one tablet once per week because
she said that there had been evidence that the higher doses can cause
seizures.
