The plan is carboplatin/taxotere for four to six months. She stats radiation therapy to her hip on Monday. The radiation oncologist was very positive. It's a small lesion and the hip will heal itself. It's amazing what a difference one doctor can make. On May 19th we are going to see Dr.Corey Langer at Fox Chase Cancer for a second opinion on our chemo plan. Plus the doctor we are seeing now is not very informative and does not show much emotion. I rold my Mom a "doctor is like a shoe,you have to keep trying them on to you fnd one that fits." Although I believe her current oncologist may be good, he doesn't give the emotional support she needs from a physcian. Also he does not educate a patient well on his treatment plans. I am a little familiar with this, since I work in a hospital lab for over thirteen years and healthcare all my life. Well thank you all this message board is like a ray of hope in a terrible storm..........
