    this was one where I was bald when I started
    and it started growing back again while I was on it. I had to stop taking this one because I kept getting infections. Like the rest if scans show the cancer is still growing they go on to another one.

    Bes to you.

    I'm stage 4 also. I want to welcome you to the forum. You will find every one here is very helpful.

    I haven't been on Eribulin so I can't comment on that. But I wish you all the best.
