my wife is taking docetaxol
her first regiman (all 6 cycles) of chemo was paclitaxal, carboplatin, avastin and cetuximab.
After a few months the tumor started to grow again. We found a clinical trial of bavituximab. It is paired with docetaxol every 3 weeks. She is having a more difficult time with the docetaxol than on the prior regiman. She is tired for also about 7-12 days after. However, she does have a lower red blood cell count. That is likely a major cause for her. The doctor said this is chemo related. We dont know if this chemo is working or not... our next scan is this week.0 -
