First of all, that's why it's an experimental cancer treatment. They don't know the side effects yet. That only happens when they get people who are willing to take part in the trials. You get the drug for free, then they monitor you carefully for any reaction. That's where the side effects come in. Any and all side effects no matter how bad or not bad they are must be recorded. If they test this drug on say, 100 people and only 1 out of the 100 experiences something strange, it still has to be recorded as a possible side effect. So you probably tried to look this drug up on line and found nothing and you won't, no one will because it is just and experimental treatment right now. This is why they can't even tell the public right now of any possible side effects because the test are not completed. Are you going to take part in this trial?

If you have been asked to take part in a trial, request the patient information document. In fact you should already have been given a copy. this should contain a list of all known side effects and their frequency. If you are not satisfied, ask the doctor what he knows from the investigator brochure. Also ask him about the side effects of some other standard treatments for a comparison.
