3 months agoJohn what side effects and how long did the last or are you still experiencing ? I have extreme fatigue shortness of breathe and absolutely no energy . I've lost critical muscle mass in the entire body and my skin continues to scale off despite moisturizing . Hard for my adult kids to understand

3 months agoThe greatest side effect has been serial dysfunction and the psychological effects. I have also experienced pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. Many side effects seek up . You never know when they are going to show up.

9 days agoI had a ct scan yesterday that showed my tumors are half the size they were 2 months ago. It’s working but unfortunately I had a really bad reaction to Oxaliplatin on my 6th round. I passed out and my BP dropped to 59/24! I wound up in the ER. I go for my 7th round on Tuesday and I’m nervous about what they are going to put me on.
