Re: What to do now??!!TriciaK

Tricia - Just wanted to put in my limited experience. I have only had one halavan treatment so far. It was right before I was dx with brain mets & had to stop to do radiation, I see the onc. tomorrow and am hoping that I can start it again tomorrow too. Anyway the 1 treatment I had seemed to be so easy! I got anti nausea meds in iv and didn't need to take any other meds at home - no nausea and actually I didn't feel much in any se effect the next day or so at all. I'm sure like others it accumulates for at least the one treatment seemed easy! And of course the wbc and other things Sheila has experienced are true too.

I am glad to hear your update and hope the halaven works well for you - continues for Sheila - and will work well for me too. I love your posts; you are such a lovely woman and I always appreciate your words and kindness. Pam
