April 1st Will Be My 6th Ixempra Treatment. I Have Been Tired, Getting Over A Cold. This Chemo Has Been Very Tolerable. I Think Back To A/C----Slept My Life Away, Taxotere----Tearing Eyes, Tired, Herceptin---No Real Problems But What A Let Down To Have Reoccurence 9 Months Into Herceptin. I Felt Like Herceptin Was Going To Be My Lifeline Back To A Normal Life. I Truly Feel That Ixempra Has Worked For Me. I Believe My Ct Will Come Out Well, Not Feeling That Sense Of Dread. I Think Once I Kick This Cold, I Will Bounce Right Back. Tykerb Will Be The Next Chapter.

Ixempra Showed A 50% Reduction In My Enlarged Lymph Nodes In My Pelvis & Abdomen After Just 3 Treatments And Next Week Will Hopefully Be My Final Treatment And I Do Feel This Chemo Has Worked, I Hope Those Of You Starting Ixempra Or May Have It In Your Future Feel Encouraged, I Know Some Chemo's Side Effects Are Pretty Tough, I Just Hope Others Find Ixempra As Tolerable As I Have.
