I Have Posted Several Times About Ixempra. I Am Taking It Alone. Yesterday Was My 5th Treatment, Just One More To Go And I Start Tykerb Alone. Ixempra Has Been Very Tolerable. Mainly I Am Just Really Tired, I Do Get Neulasta & Neupigin Shots. After Those Shots Is When All The Tiredness Hits Me. The Only Thiing New I Have Noticed Is Last Nite The Bottom Of My Right Foot Had A Burning & Stabbing Sensation For About 3 To 4 Minutes. After Rubbing It & Walking
On It, I Sat On The Edge Of The Bathtub And Ran Cold Water On It And It Just Went Away.

My Ct Scan After 3rd Treatment Showed 50% Shrinkage In My Enlarged Lymph Nodes.
I Think Ixempra Can Be Useful To Many People.
