I didn't have chemo (bum kidneys due Cytoxan therapy in my late twenties), but I really doubt that there are no studies. Perhaps no RTOG trials, but I am sure there are studies.

At my next appointment I will kick this up a few notches and check with my CCC since they are affiliated with Sanford-Burnham which is one of our nations largest NCI designated/funded Cancer Research Institutes.

I can also run it by Dr Steffen Porwollik at the top-tier who was involved in a chemo targeting agent project at Kimmel/Sanford-Burnham (developed a bacteria that targets cancer cells). Now his research group has moved to the UCSD/Salk Institute labs where they are trying to get the bacteria to carry chemo agents.

Steffen's a hiking buddy and a group of us will be on a hiking/camp-out through the "Valley of Moon" in the Anza Borrego Desert to an Amethyst Mine next month.

Interesting (brillant) guy (from east Germany) who's career passion has been targeted chemo and after they succeed he plans to retire (early) and open a coffee shop!

So, for now, I'm expecting some really great camp fire coffee! Let's hope in a few more year his team will come through with chemo that just attacks the cancer (and won't wipe out our kidneys)and that will really be something to toast gourmet campfire coffee too!
