Leeann I'm doing fine with it. I was scared to.
I got a reaction to it the 1st time. Not bad. My eyes and ears started to itch, then my head. The nurse attending to me knew just what to do. I get my second one in 2 days. Not scared now. I hope this helps. Other people have told me it was good for them.

Thank you Knissy. So there isn’t the typical side effects of chemo medications. My oncologist at Kaiser in Sacramento, California wants me to do 1 treatment each week for 4 weeks. I am hoping my salivary gland goes down, uncomfortable. Wish you a remission and appreciate updates how it is going. I very much wanted to find a support group or someone to talk to going through it too.
