Has anyone had this chemo? and any information on it as far as side effects and how many TX's. My father's oncologist is suggesting this with rad TX's. The oncologist did not tell us how many tx's of this chemo he just set it up and is expecting my father to just do it. We are considering a second opinion based on the fact my dad has a really bad heart in the equasion now. How will he handle it, how will the quality of his life be? any info would be appreciated.
