Hi everyone, had my first dose of above combo last Thursday and felt the pin ball effect just about straight away. I know it is working because I can turn my head without any pain so the pressure is off the nerve that was shooting up the back of my head making me feel like I wanted to throw up and hindering the use of my right arm like I had a frozen shoulder. Rads were commenced on the Monday so that can't take the credit but with the Carboplatin it is a bonus. Will try heat pack with the drugs this Friday, I have another 6 rads to go and my neck is feeling flatter, my onc appreciates me giving him all of our up to date treatments, in Australia the combo hasn't been FDA approved yet but the drugs are legal so how I have them in what sequence is our business, the politicians don't have to get plugged into a drip so they can go jump, and as for the tax payers paying for our drugs, my family is quite pleased that their taxes go back into the family and I have worked continually for the past 30 odd years, but we still get narrow minded people complaining, and I only stoped working with the big "C" which I now describe as my career. We just have to remain one step of C at all times. Next question, how long for the combo???
Love & Hugs Lyn
