To Mickey - re Abraxane

[IRENE FROM TAMPA]

Hi Mickey -

Thank you for responding to my post. I am very sorry that the Abraxane has made you so sick. I see you have completed your third course now. Will you be rescanning soon to see how everything is going and how are your tumor markers.?

I just took my second treatment of my third course. I am doing the once a week for three weeks with one week off. I just took the treatment on Friday and I can't believe that I am feeling almost normal this time. My whites and reds were great which I could not believe either. I do not know why I feel this good. I usually start feeling tired around Saturday evening and continue until I feel energetic again on Tuesday. I am fortunate and have never had any nausea with any of my chemo's. I just hope this has not stopped working on me. I go see my ocn. in a couple of weeks and redo my markers.

My last check of my markers (after completing second course) showed my
CEA had gone done from 67 to 19 and my 15-3 had gone done from almost 70 to 54. I was very pleased since they had gone up after first course.

Keep me posted on how you are doing Mickey and hope everything goes well for you.
