I've had one treatment of Ixempra on the 1st of Feb. My 2nd will be Monday. It hasn't been too bad. For about the first 7 days, I had small shooting pains throughout my body with just a couple days of feeling sluggish. No nausea. My hair has started to thin on about day 12. It is still just thinning...not coming out in huge clumps as it did with Taxotere and Abraxane. Time will tell on whether I will need to wig it up or not. I am also on Herceptin and Tykerb....am having some digestive issues that I didn't have with Tykerb/Xeloda, but nothing to the extreme. The only other thing is some shortness of breath. I will ask the doc before I get Herceptin as it started after I restarted it..which was 3 weeks before I began Ixempra. So all and all, Ixempra has been tolerable. I sure hope it works!!!! Best to you!
