1st on Halaven, now 1st off of it

Seems after the initial miraculous response to Halaven...(Eribulen Mesylate) , the body is now showing a mixed response....my CT looked great, but the neck nodes doubled in 2 weeks and now another large one...so game change yet again...I sure wish the cancer wasnt so smart. I will begin Gemzar with Herceptin next week.....I did get 7 months out of the Halaven, and I am thankful.....seems I am one of the few getting my hair back while still on it.....I must have amazing hair follicles!
So on to Gemzar.....hoping it will be my magic for a while...seems it will be weekly...not looking forward to being tethered to the IV bag that frequently...but we do what we must. Hoping I will still feel good enough to help my sister, as she goes through a double mastectomy and bilateral sentinel node dissection in 2 weeks.

New Avatar is my Dad and I at Relay, celebrating 35 yrs total of cancer survival.

Re: 1st on Halaven, now 1st off of it

Sheila,
Good on the internal stuff. Boo on the nodes-They are really stubborn and just not getting on the program. Hoping gemzar will fool them.

I know that supporting your sister is important to you, but don't forget to take care of your beautiful self.

Much love
Chris

Sheila,

Sorry the Halaven has slowed its work and hoping Gemzar will pick it up. You continue to be our leader of HOPE.

Love the pic of you and Dad--they really are special people aren't they!

Keeping you in my prayers.

Re: 1st on Halaven, now 1st off of it

Well, friend, it seems to be mushroom season again - on your neck! Hope Gemzar will saw them off at the root. Understand it is a long drive and takes a whole day out of every week for the new treatment. It WILL be worth the effort.

My best thoughts going toward your dear sister and her new challenges.

Wonder what happened to foil the Halaven so suddenly?

Those pesky nodes, oh rats. I am sure you will have good results with Gemzar and Herceptin. Can they add Tykerb back?

Re: 1st on Halaven, now 1st off of it

Sheila,

Those damn neck nodes again. They are feisty. But your getting 7 months out of Halaven is a good response. The Gemzar and Herceptin protocol will also help in pushing them back.

I thinking about your sister and wishing her a good outcome.

Re: 1st on Halaven, now 1st off of it

Sheila,
My thoughts are with you. It is always a difficult adjustment when a treatment stops working. Gemzar may also shrink those nodes and hopefully bring you to NED. I also hope that all goes well for your sister.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.

Re: 1st on Halaven, now 1st off of it

We had some good news on the forum and bang! I read your post Sheila. I was hoping so much for you, our courageous Halaven pioneer. 7 months is not enough. You deserve more. You deserve Ned.I hope the next combo will get you there. Thinking of you. Michka

Oh not the news I wanted to read Sheila but onward and upward like the true fighter you are and praying you have a great response to the Gemzar, weekly may be a pain but hopefully the smaller dosage will make any side effects less too!! xx
My best to your sis also!
