New drug is not Abraxane!
I did ask my oncologist if it was abraxane and he said,"no". He said abraxane can be worse for the neuopathy but the drug rep keeps saying the neuropathy goes away within a month once it is stopped making it better then Taxol which lasts for months once treatment is stopped. His question to them was, "what is the patient suppose to do for the pain while on it?" They couldn't answer that one. My oncologist says the only advantage is no pre meds with Abraxane that is a plus but then more neuropathy. He is using it on some of his patients but not me. I will find out what this new drug is that got fast tracked recently and let you all know. Thought I would test you all and see if you knew! hugs, Sandy
