Anyone else here on Zaltrap? I was on Avastin for 14 months with FOLFIRI, and then with just Irinotecan. I had a treatment break and now I am back on Irinotecan and trying Zaltrap instead of Avastin. My second treatment of this combo was pretty tough, but we think it might be that my Irinotecan dosage was a little higher. My BP is reacting just as it did on Avastin - going up to normal, instead of being really low. I've been lucky in that regard - I know many people had bad problems with BP and had to take meds to control it while on Avastin. As I understand it, Zaltrap usually causes that problem too. I am just starting to have a bit of blood when I blow my nose. I had that issue with Avastin, and over time it got pretty severe - to where I woke up with blood all over me from nose bleeds several times.
Since this drug was only approved less than 2 months ago, I know there aren't a lot of people on it yet. Just wondering if anyone else here is, and what your experience has been so far.
