Hi everyone I'm new here and I was wondering if you guys could share with me what types of Chemo you have had. Which ones has worked best and what side affects you have had.
My boyfriend is going to start Chemo in a few months to hopefully kill his remaining Astrocytoma. I really would appreciate any insight into what it is going to be like. So far he has had 4 surgeries, radiation/wafers, his stem cells filtered...etc. I feel like we are running out of options...would love to hear from you guys! xox Kristen Posted on 08/29/07, 04:08 pm |

well i went thru it and it was hard. i had the procarbizine regiment and it was rough but it made the tumor shrink in half. the second dose i had a reaction to and it put me in the ER and almost killed me. then they finished with timador. i had side effects like weight loss weakness and jionts are pretty much shot. but it is all good
