Hi Gloria

The chemo drugs were carboplatin and taxotere, three doses three weeks apart. The docs at MD Anderson mentioned immunotherapy at the first consultation but weren't ready to go there yet. Maybe they will be after this first round of Chemo. We'll have to wait and see what they say at the next consultation later this week.

They aren't talking about timelines yet. The tumor is still small. Maybe they can keep it at bay for some years. I just don't know and my bet is that they don't know either. No guarantees, just hoping for the best
