Started this drug 5/27/07. My CA#was 2000, my recent (9/25/07) was down to 48.5. These pills are inexpensive and they can be taken at home. NECESSARY to have lab done once a wk to watch blood levels. My Dr. & NP are impressed with the change to my CA (so are my family & friends).I feel well - I know this will change in the future. I had Ovarian cancer surgery 3/17/03 and I went thru the list of IV...
Take drug 4 days, stop 6 weeks and take again. This drug caused nearly all the side effects listed on the product. Side effects begin with taking drug and get worse thereafter. Unable to function on the 4th week, very weak, food unappealing, lost 12 lbs., back and stomach pain,etc. This is second round and the first round was awful, but this one much worse.
