Re: Anyone on abraxane please respond
Hi Adriana,
I missed this post.
I was on abraxane for about a year and it went well. It took care of my ascites almost immediately and kept things at bay. It was well tolerated and I think I planned on day 3 maybe 4 being my "off" days even tho I could still do things. I am a home health Physical therapist and was able to work part time. Continued with home and all too. I did have some increased but stable neuropathy partially left over though so hard to tell what it was actually from. Very tolerable. Loss of hair but got lots of pretty scarves and enjoyed no bad hair days.
Hope things are going well with you and you are doing well on the abraxane.
Cathy
