My regimen is still working, but I get significant nausea and fatigue when I get my 2-drug infusion (every 3 weeks). My Oncologist is happy with the results of the treatment and wants to keep me on this indefinitely. While I am also happy with the results, I feel there may be other options including stopping treatments and monitoring. Currently I receive treatment with one medication (Erbitux) every week with a 2nd medication (Camptosar) given every 3rd week.
I have to admit that I am not prepared (mentally) for indefinite weekly treatments, so I have decided to get a second opinion. I have an appointment in a few weeks at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL. I'm looking forward to hearing what they have to say. Whether it's the same treatment, a new treatment regimen or no treatment.
