other taxols did not work for my ovarian cancer, abraxane is bringing my ca-125 down Published: October 19, 2007 ::
I finished my Abraxane treatment a little over 1 year ago. I still have severe numbness and swelling in my hands and legs. I also had substantial vision loss almost immediately after my first treatment. I was in terrible pain during the treatment. I think that the prescribing physician should tell people that it will age you 20 years, on the spot, and you will never be the same. My doctor tried this drug on 2 patients. We both had the same complaints. He said that he will never use it again. It is a HORRIBLE drug. Published: February 14, 2008 ::
Drink lots of tea or water before during and after treatment. Take a pain relief and stool softner two days before treatment. Take an antacid gas relief if needed the 2nd night after treatment if needed. Published: November 04, 2008 ::
I have ovarian cancer. I was allergic to the other taxel meds. I am not allergic to abraxane and it is bringing my ca 125 down. I also have severe neuropathy in my hands and feet but am tolerating it. Published: May 13, 2008 ::
