Changing chemo.
Well I received the dreaded news from my oncologist today after scans earlier this week. One good thing was there is no spread to the organs, but not so good for the bone scan. There is more spread in the pelvic bones and head of the femur. I'm having an xray to check there is no fracture from the cancer. On Tuesday I will be starting a different chemo as the Abraxane has stopped working. I will be starting on IV Eribulin, once a week for 2 weeks then 1 week off. Has anyone else been on this treatment and if so how did they cope. I have been told about the neuropathy in fingers and feet being a problem, which I already have to some degree. Also the white cell count can drop effecting the immune system. Just as well I got my Tassie holiday in beforehand. I was wondering if constipation or diarrhoea is a problem. Will probably be seeing an orthopaedic specialist depending on the xray I'm having on Monday. I guess I'm lucky there is still treatment available for me.
