Mom completed her last (4th) infusion September 14th. She's had a tough time but her tumors are shrinking! She was convinced that they were shrinking by the second or third week, I honestly didn't believe her, nor did her doc, but when he felt it we saw that she was right. There was a period were it seemed like it was getting bigger, but that didn't last long. She felt the worst after her first infusion, high fevers, sweating, and extreme abdominal pain (probably because there are tumors wrapped around her sigmoid colon), but all of those side effects got better with time. After the second infusion her hands started shaking and she experienced some anxiety. She says the worst side effect is the fatigue. At first she didn't leave her house, except to go to appointments. But now she's pushing herself to do a little more every day.
