He is now going to start me on Temsiroloimus (TORISEL).. I will be given the injection once a week for 4 weeks.How good or bad is this chemo treatment and will I have many side effects.  What scares me is I am not young and I am afraid I will not be able to tolerate this treatment. Please, if anyone can give an insite about this I will be very greatful. Thank You .... oldmom Yeoldmom Tue, 01 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
