mjb Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 My husband's pet shows possible cancer still there following his most recent chemo of 4 months. So doctor is switching him to Topotican - does anyone have any experience with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieB Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 My dad had 4 successful months on topotecan. Aside from some fatigue he did not have any side effects. He didn't lose hair either, in fact it was growing back. With the first two chemo cocktails he had every side effect known to man and had such a hard time...Topo was an easy one for him. I hope it works wonders for your husband. Keep posting and keep us posted. Hugs, k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjb Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Scott never loses his hair during chemo! Maybe because he was already partially bald:) And he's already fatigued from all he's been through and the heart medication they put him on, so that won't be anything new. I just had not heard of it and hadn't had time to do any research. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
