Kathy So glad it is working!!!! Daughter used Fleet Glycerin suppositories. Also took a DOS once a day , gentle stool softener.
Dear Kathy:
Excellent news Kathy. It's great to find a drug that works for you. Doxil on the other hand worked for my wife but not Topo. It just proves to show that each cancer cells is different for everyone.
I pray that it will completely put you in remission.

Dear Kathy:
So glad to hear your news. Just had to let you know that I have terrible problems with constipation. I started drinking one cup of tea a day that my doctor recommended. It has really worked for me and really think you should try it. One cup works for me and like I say I have had severe problems. It is called "Smooth Move" by Traditional Medicinals. Please try it.

EXCELLENT!!! I am so happy to hear your news. I think about you often, and I am glad you have found something that seems to be working for you. Gosh, we miss seeing your posts around here. I hope this makes you feel better, and you start regaining your strength. I'm going to keep praying this works for you!! Gosh, that put a smile on my face!!

Hi Kathy - so glad to hear you have found something which works after your hard time with Doxil. It must have been a very difficult time. Doxil only lasted 2 cycles for me before the doc took me off it beginning of December, and I will be starting the intensive cisplatin/etoposide regime on Thursday. Not looking forward to a hard time but keen to see something get a grip of the disease progression. Keep in touch, Jenny
Kathy...Hello! So glad to hear your voice again and thrilled you are having good luck and regaining your strength! Keep up the good work, kiddo!
Peace.

Oh Kathy, so glad to hear of your good news... it was long overdue. I am on Taxol/carbo again, but after my next treatment will either be switching to a clinical trial or Topetocan. It's nice to hear someone is having positive results with it. I know there are lots of drugs out there for us... it's just a matter of finding which one works. I'm happy to hear the side effects are tolerable - I'm in agony with the Taxol and really don't want to continue with this treatment. The constipation is horrific too - I sympthasize!
Take care and stay happy,
Becky
It's so great to hear good news that this chemo is working with you. I have not tried this drug yet. Doxil didn't really work for me either. I'm now on low dose Taxol and I'm sure if it doesn't work well I'll be doing this one. This gives me hope.
Thank you,
Helen
P.S. It's so awful to waste your time and health on a drug that doesn't work!
