Treatment #10 - low platelet count. The itchy skin was probably not due to dry winter weather. 3rd week after treatment - easily bruise, slow clotting. Published: February 04, 2008 ::
After a year of treatment, I continue to have a lot of pain at the injection site for a least 3 weeks after each shot. I also have joint pain, my arthritis has flaired up and I have neuropathy type pain in my feet. Published: December 04, 2008 ::

I have just had one treatment so I cannot truly rate the drug as yet. My first treatment was two weeks ago and so far I do not have any side effects that I know of. Published: March 28, 2009 ::
11 months. Markers down so far. Warming drug to room temp helps make it less painful. Had cancerous tumor removed last month. Long trip 75 miles to have it injected. Joint pain, sore feet, skin and bones. As others said I am still here, but the quality of every day makes one wonder if it is worth it. Published: March 10, 2009 ::

I have been using Flasodex for a while and the only compliant I have is having joint pain/aches. I'm only 24yrs old, already in menopause but I have life. Flasodex had helped my tumor markers go down so I'll endure the pain. "I GUESS" Published: June 11, 2008 ::
