I can give you some pharmacological knowledge about Halaven. I imagine you are most interested in the side effects. It causes definite hair loss but oddly, in some people, the hair starts growing back while the patient is still on the drug. It can cause peripheral neurpathy which can be bothersome. Neutropenia, sometimes severe, is common and you will have to be monitored for possible infection. It can cause gastrointestinal symptoms and fatigue and bone pain.

It works like Taxol and Ixempra on the micrutubules and the side effects of Halaven are similar to the other two. It is given on days 1 and 8 of a 21 (I think) day cycle at a dosage of 4mg/square meter body surface area.

Hope this helps a bit
