I was on a clinical trial of Carboplatin, I-Phosfomide (sp), and Taxol to shrink my tumor, most who were on that protocol it did shrink the tumor significantly. Lucky me, my tumor grew. I also was on 5FU (very funny Ed). I was on Cisplatin weekly during radiation. Most of these treatments are quite effective. My cancer seems to be misbehaving and hasn't responded to anything and has spread in spite of all treatment. Don't let this scare you, I am definately in the minority here.

God Bless
