Hello Wendybill
I haven't heard of Ixempra chemo, outside of what one can google. There are some reviews on WebMd http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drugreview-149344-Ixempra+IV.aspx?drugid=149344&drugname=Ixempra+IV, mostly from people with metastatic breast cancer. If you go to CSN breast cancer board and search for "Ixempra", you will find many discussions.
I read in your bio about all the difficulties your mom faced back in 2010 and I have to say: she is a fighter and you are an amazing family who saved her life.
Best of luck,
Alexandra

ixempra
I have uterine serous carcinoma (acts more like ovca) and ixempra was part of my chemo on a clinical trial
at Sloan Kettering. Diagnosed stage 4B in September 2010, I got carboplatin , ixempra and avastin for 6 treatments
and continued with avastin every 3 weeks for maintenance till 2 months ago. Stopped because of avastin side effects.
I am still in my first remission even though cancer was found in at least 40 lymph nodes. Ixempra I guess may have really worked for me!
I have a CT scan this coming Monday so who knows what news that will bring.
