Hi all,

I've been reading the threads about MXT and side effects etc. I just thought I'd pass on my experience. I have been taking MXT since May last year starting (quite nervously) on 10mg once a week (and folic acid every other day) and aside from a reduction to 7.5mg per week (blood results and a virus over christmas) I have not had any problems at all. Not a single side effect. I take them on a Monday morning and am up and 'running' as normal straight away. So I know it is a really big step going onto the 'chemo' drug but it's not all bad and the results can be very satisfying.

    Hiya :D

    It is good news to hear favourable reports about MTX.

    Like with most things I suppose, people write/complain about things not working well, all the negatives, whatever it may be but are less inclined to praise when things are working/going smoothly.

    Long may it continue for you both!

    Best wishes,
