Hi Mickey,
Barbara gave you great info...

My experience was also muscle weakness/loss of mass. However, yes, it did come back for me. I would be concerned tho', with an extended dosage schedule of the dec. I was initially put on the higher dosage and was finally off after 4 weeks. But it ALL happened in just that time. Horrible. I do call dec the drug from hell.

If you do not have swelling/edema, symptoms, there is NO REASON for you to be on this crap. Yes, it DOES do it's job if you have problems, but otherwise I suggest/hope you get off as soon as reasonable with the down-dosing.

When do you get a follow up MRi?? I have had two, both after two rounds/months after my chemo combo. I have another at the end of the month. When for you?????

I think the walking is GREAT. Good for you, hon.
xoxoxhugs,
patty
