Hi, my friend is 34 years old and she is suffering from ovarian cancer. It was diagnosed 2 years ago and till now she is doing pretty well. Some time ago I have heard about Topotecan as medication which is used in chemotherapy. I would like to know something more about it. Thanx.
Hi, my relative is using Topotecane several months already and she is feeling pretty well. In the beginning she felt fatigue and shortening of breathe because of its effects on red blood cells but it passed. This medication is blocking enzyme topoisomerase 1 which is very important in repairing DNA of cancer cells. When repairing is impossible cancer cells are dying. I suggest you that your friend discuss using of this medication with her doctor.
