I recently started taking Zaltrap 100mg/4ml Inj, 4ml for colon cancer that has spread. The medication is supposed to block proteins that help tumors grow new blood vessels, which in theory should slow down the cancer's growth. However, I've been experiencing some side effects and wanted to know if anyone else has had similar issues. The most concerning ones are the urgent side effects listed in the warning, such as allergic reactions, bleeding, and infections. Has anyone else had to deal with these? How do you manage them? Also, curious about long-term side effects and how others have handled them.

I've been diagnosed with colon cancer that has spread to other parts of my body. My oncologist has prescribed Zaltrap 200mg/8ml Inj, 8ml as part of my treatment plan. I've read about the potential side effects and I'm a bit nervous. Has anyone here used Zaltrap before? What was your experience like? How did you manage the side effects? Any advice or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
