Hey Lida, I can send you some information on Ixempra. Ed started his first treatment but he is using this alone right now. It is being used for mets and recurrence when patient fails on a Taxanes, Adriamycin or is resistant to these drugs altogether. Lots of research at Mighty Oak's house regarding Ixempra. P.M me if you want more information. This drug, even used alone is getting great results. It is also in an entirely new class of chemo drugs and the start to many more treatment options.

Ed did very well with first infusion. We did it without Emend for nausea and without a blood boosting shot. Going great here.>>Believe51
