Ixempra (Ixabepilone)
This is a very hard chemo ifusion every 3 weeks. I am on infusion #4 at the end I will post what I have gone through
Today I had Ixempra infusion #4. I'm on full dose once every 3 weeks. I do have a lot of bone pain the only thing that helped is fentynal patches 50mg nauseous quite regularly only thing that helps is zofran dissolvable tablets heartburn I take 40mg protonix before I was on Ixempra I had ascites 6ltrs a week drained it went away almost immediately!!!!!!
My Side effects
• about day 1 my mouth feels like I burnt it on hot soup
• nauseous
•extra thirsty
•dry mouth
•bone pain
•day 14 after first infusion hair started shedding so I buzzed it
•heartburn
•insomnia
•panic attacks
•weight gain
•really bad shaking first couple of days
•neuropathy of hands
•light headed
I think that's it!!!! But if it's working I'm fine
