Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 162 | Hey Dan. I had good luck with that stuff and I'm wishing the same luck for you. With the premed's they'll hang, I'm expecting that you'll just fine on the chemo. Say goodbye to your hair, though.
I'm not a religious person, so I won't make religious noises. But I'm wishing you the very best luck with this.

Here's hoping that this cocktail works for you. Glad you are starting treatment. Were they unable to find a clinical trial for you or are they still looking? Best of luck with this.
Take care,
Eileen

Glad to hear you are on your way with more treatment...by the way, Dan had the same drugs and didn't lose his hair...just a little of it fell out all over. You are always in my daily prayers for healing, and peace for you and your family during these most difficult of days.
God bless and take care,
