Re: Abraxane

I am on my 2nd round of Abraxane and have found it both tolerable AND effective on both occasions.

It is strange. The first time I was on it I didn't lose what little hair I had remaining following my initial taxotere treatment. This 2nd time, I lost it all. But then, when I started the Abraxane treatment #2, we combined it with Tykerb. So maybe that double whammey was too much for the hair.

I am hoping the Abraxane kicks those mets the same way they have for me!!!
