Mitoxantrone
Hi - has anyone tried Mitoxantrone treatment (form of chemotherapy). I'm due to start my first session in a couple of weeks and I'm not sure what to expect or whether I should even go ahead. I would really be grateful to know if others have tried it and what their experience has been - good or bad.
Hi leeda, after an unsuccessful year on Rebif, I went on a course of mitoxantrone about four years ago. I now take copaxone injections daily. Thankfully things have been really good since, with only the occasional blip. I was nervous about the 'chemo' word, but apart from feeling nauseous for a few days after each infusion, things were ok. Give me a shout if you have any questions, George
Hey leeda, I finished my course of Mitox just over a year ago and haven't looked back since =). For me it was all about the risk/reward factor. I read lots of info and the possible complications and the chances of them occuring versus the state of my MS and decided it was worth the small risk of more serious side effects for the huge benefit in the reduction of relapses compared with other DMDs.
