had a few problems with my heart, but it worked so well treating my tumors. I did 6 months of treatment every other week, followed by 3 weeks radiation.

I went into chemo as a very healthy young man, did very well up until the last 2 cycles(4 treatments). On my last treatment I ended up with necrotizing fascitis, that caused full amputaion to the groin of the left leg. Just happy to be in remission
