Thanks everyone for being here for me, it definatley helps while doing my research today I came across an article on Herceptin and it said that anti convulsants impair taxanes, that makes sense, I have been on Epilem 200mg continually since about 1998 for nerve damage from surgery, and now Neurontin as well for inflammation behind my ear and neck, also prescrived for neuoropthy. In early 1999 I had the rounds of Taxotere, one month out and it was back, now in 2004, 26 weeks of Taxol/Carbo/Herceptin and this time it came back 2 months out, so this may explain why I have not been having success with the taxanes, so now I have faxed my onc this info, which he obviously doesn't know about and I have asked to give Paclitaxel (Abraxane/PG-TXL) with Herceptin, and Methotrexate for my connective tissue disorder as well as used for head and neck involvement. I can't take any anti-inflammatories, prescription or over the counter, orders of my Heart Specialist, So I feel a bit better tonight knowing that it perhaps it hasn't been the taxanes failing but the compromise from the anti-convulsants, I don't know if any of the group out there are taking Neurontin for neuoropthy while on taxanes or any other similar drugs. I will let the board know when I find out next option.
Hugs Lyn
