went and camped out at doctors to get seen (see previous post)
He looked at it got radiation onc on phone now they have switched me to getting just cisplain (sp) everyday, weeks 1,4 and 7 with radiation everyday and twice on fridays. I was on Erbitux carbo platin and taxol but during my break tumors flared up (see previous post) So now i have to find out about this new treatment of just cisplain. Ive read that people get it but usually with 5fu and something else i asked why im not getting 5fu or anyother chemo mix and he said too many bad side effects
i want to be cured i really feel im just getting what they have to give me that will cause the least problems for them.
