Her-2+ abraxine/herceptinHi! Sorry to be late responding. First, I did a second opinion and lung biosy at Ohio State Univ in June 2007 after being diagosed in August 2006. I was not eligible for the clinical trial there, but my doctor in Dayton worked with my insurance/drug company to secure my chemo mix. I had previously taken your standard A/C mix and Taxol & Herception with so-so results...meaning it didn't get any worse nor better. Started this mix in August 2007 after healing from surgery. This mix worked really well for about 9-10 months with very few side effects (some numbness in feet, fingers, dripping nose/nosebleeds, hoarseness, tiredness). Bridget, I don't know what to tell you about the aches, but definitely talk to your doctor. There may be simple over the counter drugs that may help. Hope this helps. Good luck. |
