Dear Friends,

Just a quick update on my father's condition. Latest CT showed new growth. Depends which doctor you talk to. One doctor says it a recurring tumor. Another states its now in an area below the previous area. However, I was really devastated, because my father had stated previously that he would not go thru that again. Had 39 IMRT treatments. Chemo of 5FU and Cisplatin.

We talked at length this weekend about his options, and much to my relief he agreed to try chemo again. We have our chemo teaching next Monday and he begins treatment on Wednedsay.

My question is the course of treatment this time is Taxol with a carbo-combination. Anyone familiar with this form of chemo? What's the difference with this as opposed to the Cisplatin? Thanks again to all you wonderful people for your prayers and insight.
