I haven’t been on any chemo yet. Am now taking the IViG treatments every 4 weeks I was going to start a chemo when I was diagnosed with this skin cancer. I guess we need to get this controlled first. Sounds like you are having issues with the different chemo treatments. I wouldn’t know where to start. I wish you all the best and God bless you. Keep in touch friend.
