Hi Everyone,
I do not see my oncologist every time, but he has to order it for me to receive it. They always weigh me before they mix it. I receive it every three weeks. The infusion takes 30 minutes and that procedure does not cause a problem for me. The whole procedure at the Dana Farber from parking to leaving usually only takes an hour when I don't see my oncologist. I'm happy about that because I will be on it for the rest of my life, or until it stops working, or until something better is found. I have been taking it since July 04. It put my tumor markers into the normal range and seems to be doing its job so far without having to add something else.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.
