Cytarabine Prophylaxis

Hi,
I'm a 53 yrs old man from The Netherlands, diagnosed with B-cell plasmablastair NHL, cd-20 negative, in 2006.
I received 6 CHOP treatments, Prednison being upgraded to 5x100mg per treatment.
I also received intrathecal Metotrexate (once) and then 4 times intrathecal cytarabine (50mg). These were considered purely prophylactic.

Is there anyone on this list having experience with the prophylactic intrathecal use of cytarabine?
