Halaven???
 

Hello ladies,

Unfortunately today I found out that I have progressed on paclitaxol so Drs are switching me to Halaven. The Dr said the drug is easy to tolerate and that it can be administered every 3 weeks or on Day 1 and Day 8. I initially asked for it to be every 3 weeks, but then she said I cannot do that option. Not sure why.

Has anyone had Halaven? If so, can you please tell me what to expect? I read that hairloss is common, nausea, tingling are common. Right now, I am tolerating the taxol well so I would hate to feel worse. I am also unhappy about having to go to the hospital on Day 1 and Day 8.

I am also wondering how people responded on Halaven. I feel like all these treatments do nothing to reverse my disease. I also worry about not being on anything that targets Her2. Anyone with thoughts?

Hoping for some answers...

I'm sorry cant offer any information on Halaven. I'd push to stay on herceptin in addition to other drugs that are offered. I wish you the best.

Take care,
Brenda
