Hello Tracex

I'm sorry you've not had any replies to your query yet. You might want to try editing the title to include the brand name of Topetecan, which is Hycamtin, as women treated in the US are more likely to know it by that name.

Here is some information on side effects which I hope is helpful.

Chemocare (bear in mind this is a US site but much of the information is still relevant): chemocare.com/chemotherapy/...

Best wishes
