still able to take abraxane

I was concerned my Dr. would take me off abraxane because the last time I got a itchy face rash. But he just added some more pe-meds and I did fine. Because all my hip pain disappeared after the first abraxane teatment, we are excited. My Dr. said the way the abraxance is working, I should be plannig a cruise for next year. lol I am tired on it and don't feel up to par but since it seems to be working, I am hoping to hang in there till they finally approve tykerb.

Patty,
I'm glad to hear that the extra premeds did the trick, and especially that the Abraxane seems to be working - I hope this is the case. As for feeling tired, there's nothing like a nice cruise for resting up! Hang in there!
Chris
