Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 417 | I posted last week that I would be starting clinical trials today with (Xeloda & Oxalipatin), I was premature and had not listened to my Doctor. I guess I heard what I wanted to hear and shut out the part where he said, MAY BE AVAILABLE.
The trial of the two drugs ended last week with less than satisfactory results over a span of two years.
I begin conventional chemotherapy (Carboplatin and Taxotere) 6 weekly infusions then a 2 week rest and then 6 more weekly infusions,Friday morning. Then a CT scan to see if we beat the wolf away from the door.
