Oh, Ashley Enjoy!!!!! A massage after a workout sounds soooooo goooood

I just started on this drug this week ..... wondering at what point do the side effects seem to kick in??

Wow .... didn't expect this, I had been communicating her via e-mail, I guess the last time was about two weeks ago. My prayers and thoughts are with her.

Candy, my onc. has suggested Stivarga now so I'm in the midst of waiting for approval for this drug.... so your posts are of particular interest for me. Curious to know if you suffered from hand foot syndrome on any other chemo's or is this something new that you haven't suffered from before?? What ...

Is Zaltrap ever used in Canada????

Interesting. What clinical trial are you looking at and where?? I'm in Ontario too. I get disconnect at home ... the last meeting I had with homecare the lady mentioned that she really liked my oncologist that he's sent patients across the border for treatment .... she said he does that if he sees t...

The other question that comes up .... because I have had some invitations this week, but they fall on chemo. days, so I've said no can't make it those days I'm hooked up ...... I get asked "Well, how long is this going to go on, how long will you be getting this treatment?" Huh?? I don't k...
