Kathy - and Jim,
one of my riding buddies is an oncologist. One of the things she told me is that sometimes adding additional chemo's just added toxicity, not an improvement in survival. We'll probably know in 10 or 15 years which of the current therapies is the best for a specific situation, but until then, we have to just do our best.
