Paul,
Just the fact that you are three years out with no evidence of recurrence is great news to me. My father would not take the very strong chemo that you took(Carbo/Tax combo). He was too afraid of the side effects. He however agreed to the new drug Erbitux and just finished his last chemo treatment Tuesday and will finish radition next week. Your story gives me hope........
