Hello
I don't have to much info. My mom started the pills on Wed. So far she's just really really tired. She felt this way before starting the chemo and I'm sure this isn't helping

Here is an updated search for the keyword, which may contain further info for you ??

My mom only did one round of lonsurf. She passed away the day was due to start her 2nd round.
Her heart was to weak ....

Best of luck to anyone starting this.
