chemo list
 

I became stage 4 in 2007. In these 4 years I have progressed on Navelbine,Tykerb,TDM1 and Xeloda.
Is there any chemo left except Gemzar on which I will not loose my hair? It is very depressing with small kids to loose hair.

Thanks,
Julie

A bit unusual, but maybe this is one:

I am wondering if they added Avastin to the mix...it does not cause hair loss. also, many have had a good response with Halaven, which can but doesn't always cause hair loss. Also, what about Abraxine...with the Avastin and Herceptin. Just brain storming for options.....there is also metronomic chemo, which is Cytoxan and Methotruxate I believe. Hope this helps, but it is more important to be here for your kids than to have hair. Also, everyone reacts differently to different agents. Some women are losing their hair on Gemzar, but I haven't....
