Side effects were too much to handle. The rash in the face and scalp was unbearable. My teeth were hurting all the time. Very bad cramps in the legs and then arm. Scalp was extremely tender. Even 3 weeks after I stopped taking it, I have extreme hair loss.

I have been on these medications for one year. I have stage 4 lung cancer. My initial prognosis was 3 months to 5 years. I am now in remission! My biggest side effect is feeling tired. I have others but nothing I can’t deal with. I am very grateful and extremely happy.

This medicine seems to be working after 1 month CA 125 went to normal. Has to take a break due to liver enzymes and skin reactions. Back on after 3 week break enzymes normal again and we’ll see. Promising

Only used it for three weeks as it produced severe leg cramps. It did reduce a tumor but the pain and itching were to much
