didier Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Hi, My dad has mets to the liver now. Doc wants to start Topotecan with possible radiation pending pelvic x-ray results. Curious of the side effects. Doc suggested a a 30 min. infusion five days a week for a month. This is getting pretty upsetting. I'm not too optimistic. Would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.

Rachel Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 D, I had Topotecan 5 x a week for about 30 min. I believeit was 4 weeks total. I had only fatigue & some low blood counts (nothing that a pint or 2 didn't cure) Other than that, piece of cake. HYope your Dad does as well.
