Experiences with

Cyramza

The combination Cyramza and Tarceva and being available as a first line targeted therapy option gives patients whose tumors have changes in EGFR a new choice for treatment.

I had my 24th Cyramza infusion today and will stick with this plan for now. Doc and I feel confident that there is nothing to worry about. Back to the #1 job at hand....living and loving my life! 💓

Wondering if anyone has been on Taxotere and Cyramza and what kind of side effects have they experienced. I am really not liking what I am reading. Have been on Alimta and Dr wanted to add Avastin, however my insurance co denied.

Last April, after progression on Carbo/Alimta and Alimta maintenance, I started Docetaxel (Taxotere) and Ramucirumab (Cyramza) as second line and I’ve been stable since last August.

Yesterday was infusion #7 of Cyramza/Taxotere. New side effect for me during Cyramza infusion of back spasm. Stopped the drip until they settled down and then resumed at half rate. Staying focused on reaching NED (No Evidence of Disease)!

Last Friday I had PET/CT after 2 rounds of Cyramza/Taxotere. The results were amazingly good! Pleural thickening is basically gone and pleural effusion almost gone. Tumor shrunk and lymph node involvement totally reduced as well as SUV uptake down all around. No signs of any additional mets.

Yesterday was round 2 of Cyramza/Taxotere. All in all, side effects from round one were doable. Worst ones being mouth/tongue sores and major hair loss. Some fatigue but keeping up with life for which I am truly grateful.

I am doing Chemotherapy with Taxol-Cyramza. i also did a radiation treatment. The Doctor said you can only do so much so that's finished. An operation was ruled out by Stony Brook Cancer Center Surgeon. Do you have any ideas for this? i am located on Bay Shore, LI NY USA.
