Does anyone know or have experience with this chemo? I am set to start this on 12-9-10. Just came off of 2 years of tykerb and exloda. Wondering what to expect.

I hope Halaven works really well for you, Tonya. I'm hoping for my sake that it becomes available soon in Australia. All the best,
Trish

I hope this drug works wonders and you will have it soon also. Do you know if their is hair loss with it? Everything I have found on it seems sort of sketchy even my onc doesnt know much...(not unusual). I have mets to my liver 4 years ago and now possibly something up with ovary. It the first progression in two years. Its just plain scary, but I am keeping my chin up and my fingers crossed. Tonya
