Re: ixempra is next chemo
Hi Pam -
Do u know if u need to go on Ixempra? I was on it for 1.5 years - it did not
fail me. However, I've yet to meet someone besides me that went that long on it. If needed I could go back. Actually I am on tdm1 and that has not been an easy drug for me at all.
Plz PM me if you go on Ixempra - I can tell u what I did to get through it and what side effects u have to be mindful of starting day 1. I learned that lesson the hard way!
Back to you,
Kim
