What schedule are they going to use for the Taxol, weekly, bi weekly or every 3 weeks?

Thanks!
He will be getting Taxol once a week for 3 weeks, then a week off and start over.
Is Avastin bad?
Ken had his first treatment today and it really has hit him hard. Hopefully he will feel better in a few days.

on the news tonight they said there shipments of bogus/fake Avastin to 3 states, Illinois being one of them. That Avastin had no active ingredient in it.

Taxol can be somewhat hard on the system. One thing it can cause your feet and hands to be numb.

On the Avastin, it is a good drug, but it was just released yesterday that were some fake shipments.
I keep up with all this stuff through my Breast Cancer support group.

Here is the press release from Genentech the only makers of the Drug.

Prayers still going out for Ken.

Thanks. I looked up the Avastin and how horrible for anyone who got that instead of the real drug.
This chemo has really hit him hard. He was so far from being better from the last chemo.

ladyjane · 02-17-2012, 02:15 PM

I'm so sorry Patti...chemo is so hard on people. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

Maximo · 02-17-2012, 03:46 PM

I am sorry this chemo is hitting Ken so hard. Praying that he will feel better quickly.

Mom to Hot Rod · 02-17-2012, 11:15 PM

Sending extra prayers for Ken to overcome these effects of his new treatment.

Breny · 02-19-2012, 10:19 AM

I am a member of a prayer group and will add Ken to our list. My husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor and was given bad news by the doctors. He has outlived their predictions by 9 years so far. I pray you will post the same news one day. I will also pray for you to have the strength you need.

Thanks so much! I am so glad your husband proved the doctors wrong. We are praying Ken beats the odds too and prayers are so appreciated.

Patti Dear, remember I am here if you need someone to talk with please call no matter what hour.

My sister in law beat the same thing that Ken is going through, God will help him to beat this too. Keeping you both in our prayers.

Sending big hug to you from us both, Patti and Jack
