kimblanchard Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 Hi Dave Yes - Mike was on Topotecan for three series. It was administered for five days - every fourth week. It was the line of chemo used when we got the "clear cat scan" on the liver in July of 2002. It's a good one....not too terribly hard with side effects...at least it was better than the Cisplatin (that stuff was HARD on Mike). Hugs, Quote
Guest Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 Thanks for the replies. KatieB, I take Zofran for nausea, only when I need it. It works for me. I will start on Topotecan this Monday (4/14) . Infusion on day 1 and oral tablets for 3-4 days. I will pray for all. God bless. Quote
Laurie Posted April 11, 2003 Posted April 11, 2003 Hi David, I wish you the best with your treatments. I will keep you in my prayers. Laurie Quote
