Topetechan started last week. ?
hi my name is Kathy, I have stage IV OV cancer. IIstarted with taxal/carboplatin, then surgery then 3 rounds of doxil. I was taken off doxil due to a terrible chemical burn that radiated from the inside out on both legs.Doc took me off after 3 rounds. My CA 125 is now up to 1155 with cells spread through my omentum and a couple on my liver! I have NO symptoms at all..so very lucky there. We started topetchan on Friday, made it all weekend no side affects.protocol is infusion once a week for three weeks then one week off. I have been told my counts might be affected but I will get a booster shot and of course I will loose my hair again.
anyone out there familiar with topetchan or the side affects. Love to hear from you
Thanks - Kathy
