@Eshwar, our MO is going with Ifosfamide/Paclitaxel/Carboplatin. He did have Carbo/Taxol with the first round of treatment last year, but these doses are much higher I'm sure.
@Cathi, he wasn't open to doing the 5-FU, too harsh with his condition/breathing prob. Taking Prednisone and it's helping a bit with breathing.
Said he will have antibiotic as well as Neulasta for WBC boost. I am most scared of an infection from the depeleted blood levels and what that may develop into.

Of course John's MO gave us the option of doing nothing as well, which he said may or may not give him as much time as doing another round of chemo. Well we are not quitters, and John is not going to give up without a fight!

Our son is to be married in Feb. 2012 -- daughter is in Chiropractic College -- there is WAY too much to be done and lived yet!!!
