Leah ShermanGUEST
And so I started chemo the week after my diagnosis.
Leah ShermanGUEST
I had my port placed and started chemo, and went through four rounds of AC, Adriamycin and Cytoxan, and then started Taxol.
Leah ShermanGUEST
I was supposed to get weekly Taxol.
Leah ShermanGUEST
They were like, "You tolerated the AC so well.
SamHOST
To give us a little more details, can you break down those regimens, things like ACT, Paclitaxel, CMF? Tell us what those regimens are.
CorrineHOST
So AC plus T stands for Doxorubicin with Cy- Cyclophosphamide followed by Paclitaxel.
CorrineHOST
The dose sense is given every two weeks with G-CSF.
CorrineHOST
Paclitaxel can be given weekly or every two weeks.
Ken BerryHOST
The next is the immunosuppressants, which would be used for autoimmune conditions.
Ken BerryHOST
Definitely, uh, methotrexate, Cytoxan, and Enbrel have been reported to cause hair loss, but some of the other newer ones have been reported to cause hair loss as well.
Ken BerryHOST
Again, these are quite important medications, and your doctor may say, "Yeah, it might cause hair loss, but shut up and take it because you need it." But it's definitely a, a conversation that it's within your rights as a patient to have with your doctor if you're having a tremendous amount of hair loss taking that medication.
Ken BerryHOST
Next is dru- a drug for Parkinson's disease or Parkinsonism, and that's levodopa or levodopa.
Jack CushHOST
Most of these reports are actually not damning and not indictful, um, and may not support removal from the market in the United States.
Jack CushHOST
So here's a retrospective, um, real world report from a UK vasculitis center that looked at, um, uh, uh, ANCA-associated vasculitis patients who were treated with either Cytoxan or, um, cyclophosphamide or rituximab.
Jack CushHOST
And, and, um, 133 of them received avacopan, 458 did not.
Jack CushHOST
At one year, the avacopan patients had a non-significant increase, twofold increase in ALT.
Bree AllredHOST
So my cocktail that they called it was called ACMT.
Bree AllredHOST
Um, it was Adriamycin, which is also known as the Red Devil, and I would get that independently on its own, and then I would have Cytoxan and Taxol together.
Bree AllredHOST
I believe I had six treatments, and I had three of Adriamycin, and then I had three of, uh, Cytoxan and Taxol.
Bree AllredHOST
And I don't wish chemo on my worst enemy.
Bree AllredHOST
It was the most awful thing I've ever done in my life.
Jack CushHOST
But the interesting thing on this study was that those patients who were treated with lupus, who were treated with hydroxychloroquine, had a significant 33% lower risk of metabolic syndrome.
Jack CushHOST
In contrast, patients treated with Cytoxan, significantly higher, 39%.
Jack CushHOST
Azathioprine, 25%.
Jack CushHOST
And mycophenolate.
Anna SabatinoGUEST
And then he sat down with me and he said, well, OK, it is triple negative.
Anna SabatinoGUEST
I think you should do at least three rounds of two agents, which was Taxotere and Cytoxan, which are still very powerful chemo agents.
Anna SabatinoGUEST
And and then that's it.
Anna SabatinoGUEST
And then, you know, we can move on to radiation.
Alex WildesonGUEST
Fast forward a couple of years, COVID happens and I got disastrously sick.
Alex WildesonGUEST
I had to go on something called Cytoxan, which is a chemotherapy.
Alex WildesonGUEST
Lost all of my hair, got put on 80 milligrams of steroids, so gained 80 pounds-ish.
Alex WildesonGUEST
Just did not feel like myself, couldn't recognize myself in the mirror.
19 MINS LATER
Alex WildesonGUEST
And it's also the way I got pregnant that has been, I think the way I got pregnant is actually why I started sharing my pregnancy.
Alex WildesonGUEST
I had quite a few doctors tell me there was no way I was going to get pregnant naturally because of all these medications I'd been on.
Alex WildesonGUEST
Cytoxan does a number to your reproductive system.
Alex WildesonGUEST
I had gotten really good advice.
Douglas W SborovGUEST
So we have a guy who we thought was high-risk, but he actually is high-risk, right, because he progressed so early.
Douglas W SborovGUEST
So we gave him Cytoxan, Carfilzomib, Thalidomide, and Dexamethasone.
Douglas W SborovGUEST
Probably the last time I used Thalidomide in any of my patients.
Douglas W SborovGUEST
But we gave him quad therapy at first progression.
Ken BerryHOST
for autoimmune conditions.
Ken BerryHOST
Definitely methotrexate, Cytoxan, and Enbrel have been reported to cause hair loss, but some of the other newer ones have been reported to cause hair loss as well.
