Ixabepilone (ixempra) Works Its Magic
Hi everyone, my ct results are in after 3 treatments of ixabepilone. All the enlarged lymph nodes that were in my pelvis & abdomen have all shrunk 50%. My doctor wants me to do 3 more treatments and go for another scan which will hopefully show no evidence of disease.
I feel like a convict who has got away with something magical and has escaped once again.
