Alan,

I also wish I could provide some comfort for you. I am 40 years old with Lung Metastisis and I have said no more treatment for me. Does your mother want to go through chemo again? It's just 6 months since the end of treatment. My oncologist said that if the platinum based chemo was ineffective at controling the reoccurance so soon after treatment then throwing more of the same would most likely be ineffective. He offered me clinical trials. If your mom's quality of life is good right now, eating, swallowing , talking, enjoying life then I'd say go for it. If she's miserable, then I might be inclined to keep her comfortable. It's her decision though. You asked for our thoughts, I hope I didn't go too far.
