Hi Jill - I've had 10 Rounds so I asked the same question. I was told liver and kidney but they monitor that every month when they draw blood before chemo. The brain @ Weill Cornell said that there is a subset of people that have been on it for "years", in his speak that means more than 5. He said its a small fraction that are on it long, long term as your doc said. How are the Zofran tablets working for you? I'm going to ask about switching to subcutaneous injections as I don't like sitting in that chair every 5 weeks for 5 days. One of the nurses their told me people DO go from IV to injections but 10x more go from the shots to IV because of the skin reactions. Won't hurt to ask the Heme about it worst he can say is no.
Take Care, Steve
