I was diagnosed with angiosarcoma on my nose and was on Votrient for 40 days. Angiosarcoma on the nose is rare. The surgery can be very radical. I had many rough side effects (whacked my thyroid) and felt horrible on the drug. Recently a punch biopsy was performed reflecting no angiosarcoma. My oncologist and surgeon are very pleased (as am I) but they want me to go back on Votrient for an additional 4 months and re- biopsy. Has anyone had a successful on and off Votrient protocol?

My husband has just started on Zaltrap. Is there anyone else that is on this drug? (So very little information out there) If so, how long and what have been your side effects? He has had one dose and it seems to have hit him pretty hard. Any feedback would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much.

My mom just recently got diagnose with stage 4 lung cancer and I'm trying to figure out if H-86 is similar to a medicine called tarceva. I'm hoping to find out what h86 as well so if its a all natural then what is it? I heard that soursop helps kill cancer cells but is high in nuero toxicity so I'm hesitant to have my mom take anything while she is taking tarceva. Just wondering if anybody out there has some testimonials regarding H86, Tarceva or Soursop that actually helped them with their cancer. ## Hello, Sorry to hear about your mother's situation with cancer. Regarding H-86, there happen to be several other posts on this site asking questions about it as well, but I still have yet to find any information on it, at all. There is nothing listed in any of the medical l...

Looking to find H-86 to help getting rid of Cancer. ## So far, I haven't found any information or proof that such a substance even exists. There have been many posts asking for information on it and wanting to know how to find it. But, in spite of the time I've put in to research it in both medical and research sources, I have found nothing! Nothing on what the substance actually is and no research confirming that the claims are true. I am very sorry to you and the others seeking such information, I know that the person publishing that newsletter has raised the hopes of many people and all for naught, it seems. Are you currently diagnosed with cancer? ## on (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) scbt.com, H-86 is referred to as an antibody from rabbit polyclonal IgG.

my mother have lung cancer.the dr prescribe lexamil with her pain pills.she is in a sleepy mode and can't speak properly ,could the drug be to strong.i have taken it away. she used it 3 days. ## Hello, Nellie! How is your mother doing? First of all, unless you are a doctor yourself, you shouldn't take any medication away from your mother. The only people qualified to make that decision are your mother and/or her doctor. Lexamil contains the active ingredient Escitalopram, it is an SSRI antidepressant and it could cause those types of things as side effects, especially if the dosage is too high for her. Learn more Lexamil details here. However, those symptoms could also be caused by her pain medications, especially if any of them are narcotic opiates. Has her doctor been consulte...

I experienced severe numbness, tingling and weakness in my left hand, little finger and next finger. Also experienced brain fog so severe I couldn't read and otherwise felt just very sick. This started after I only had two injections of the Faslodex. Symptoms were very scary and so severe I refused to continue the Faslodex. It's been a month and half since I discontinued it and the brain fog is better but still experiencing the hand numbness, tingling and weakness. Praying it gets better....anyone else experiencing these side effects I'm also taking Zometa. ## Its your ulnar nerve. It effects the left side of your arm, last two fingers included. ## Hello, Shopgirl! How are you doing? Has it gotten any better? Have you consulted your doctor?

Hello everyone. I'm trying to compile a list of people who've experienced adverse reactions and life changing side effects from medicine. I lost my mother last year due to a medication she was taking, that caused cancer. I'm now on a mission to help save other people's lives and the spread awareness about the potential dangers of the medications we take daily. If you don't mind, could you list a medicine that has impacted your life in a bad way, what medicine it was, and what problems it caused you. I will also be drafting a petition to the drug makers, the FDA and whomever else I can. Thank you everyone. ## Hello, Erica! How are you? I am so very sorry about the loss of your mother, that's just such a tragic thing to occur from a medication that is supposed to h...

Having been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis (though psoriasis has always been super mild), I have just started taking 10mg methotrexate once a week followed by 5mg of folic acid for 2 days. Is it recommended to take a vitamin supplement (if so , which?) or any other supplement to compensate for weakening of the immune system (if so, which)? Also, which pain killers are most effective and least harmful to liver etc? Thankyou!

Hi. My partner got Zytiga from an on-line store, where Janssen (Zytiga ) told us to order from. But we found it so expensive ($6,000), compared to a Canadian on-line pharmacy(around $5,900. still very expensive for us). Is there any ways to access cheaper on-line store? Our insurance does pay 60% of it, but still, it is too hefty for us to pay. Thank you so much. ## Hi Ovid, There are a number of online pharmacies out there that may have better prices on what you're looking for. I would recommend starting off your search with sites such as PharmacyChecker, as they only list certified (reputable) online pharmacies. Additionally, legitimate online pharmacies that carry the VIPPS seal are listed at: nabp.net/programs/accreditation/vipps/find-a-vipps-online-pharmacy/ It's a lot to l...

I am almost 3 months into a 12 month plan of Erivedge. I have been really nauseated the last few days. Throwing up and diarrhea. I have had only muscle cramps up until this point. Trying to figure out if its a stomach virus or the medication. Would it take this long for nausea to set in? ## Yes, usually nausea as a side effect of a medication would hit very quickly and not take several months to manifest. Learn more Erivedge details here. Have you checked in with your doctor? Odd things can happen with some medications and how they affect different people, so it's best to have things checked out to be sure.

I WAS ON DAY 11 OF MY 14 DAY DIET,MISSING MY MILK,WHY DIDN'T THEY CHECK WITH PHARMACIST TO SEE IF THERE WAS MEDS ## I would imagine that when setting up the appointment, they had no way of knowing there would still be a shortage, at the time of the appointment. In addition, it is probably impossible for them to keep track of all medication shortages, at any given time. The shortage, however, has been going on since early this year and there is no still no information on when, if ever, it will be rectified. Did they offer you any other alternatives or make any suggestions? ## Hi, Not sure if you meant milk or milk thistle. I personally feel milk thistle is much more dangerous than most have thought. I would suggest anyone who doubts me to google:DANGERS OF MILK THISTLE---- AND READ A...

I am a 68 year old female with arthritic aches and pains. I saw an ad on TV about Australian Dream Cream and decided I would try it. I thought it was a harmless rub, as most of the others, but I was drawn to the money back guarantee. Well, after using it just for one night before bed I experienced a severe drop in my blood pressure. I awakened lightheaded and took my BP as I do each AM when I awaken. Well when it registered as 74/50/67 I became alarmed. I looked up this drug and was enlightened as low BP is a side effect. I will not use this again and I plan on returning it for a refund. Don't dismiss any symptoms you get from the use of this drug, even though it is administered topically, especially if you are a senior citizen. ## Hi, Tam Ben! Sorry about the bad experience you had...

Ordered Femara(letrizole) from UK. I received odd shaped white pill with v design on one side and scored on other side. Im just skeptical as to what this really is?! It also came in a packaged marked "Bone Strength." Maybe just to pass customs?? Not sure....any help would be awesome! ## Hi, Gypsy! How are you? I tried doing some searching for this, but I'm not finding anything. Did you try contacting the place your ordered from to ask them about it? Does anyone know anything about these? I'll keep searching and post back, when I have information for you.

My wife is about 24+ years, 5'3'' tall with weight around 40 Kg. She has history of gastritis and also has Leukorrhea (thick white discharge), not able to eat fish, milk, meat. Now she is having nipple discharge, she is not even pregnant. She is taking Veloz 20mg now. What can be the problem? Is it Pituitary tumor or High prolactin level is blood? ## There are various reasons it could be happening. Breast discharge could be due to cysts, cancer, a hormonal imbalance and several other possibilities. However, a definitive diagnosis can't be given from just the limited information in your post. Has she consulted her doctor? An exam and blood work will likely be required to determine the cause and to find proper treatment options.
