  1. I don't have any answers to your questions, but I wanted to welcome you, and say sorry that you have to be here. This group is really knowledgable, I am sure someone can answer you question, or lead you in the right direction. The only low dose chemo I have ever heard of is the one they administer at Cancer Treatment Centers of America. They have a website, and you can read about it there. I hope this helps

  2. Mary-

    I am trying to write you a message through tears. What a beautiful sister you are, and please do not give up hope. You never know...GOD Performs miracles, but I respect how strong you are in not letting the difficult situation drag you down to the point of no return. I wish I could be like that. I will continue to pray for sister.

    I pray to have a miracle happen for you and your sister.

    You can make your posts as long as you want, it helps just to talk about it. Trust me. My mom has NSC adenocarcinoma, stage IV. She has mets to the shoulder, skin on head, and kidney and liver, and she is actually doing well. She is on her second round of Chemo, this time being taxotere, first was taxol/carboplatin, radiation, and she had no results, and thats when they found a new met to her kidney, but the taxotere seems to be doing something though, her pain in her shoulder isn't as bad, and she is having MANY better days now. So, I feel its good that your dad is on taxotere. Its alot more aggresive than the platinum based chemos. Never give up hope, and like someone said make sure they treat it aggressively. There are many survivors. My mom is one,,,she was diagnosed in Dec. 2002. Just make sure dad gets alot of fluids. Keep us posted. This is a great bunch to talk to. They are very knowledgable and encouraging. Its good to talk to them.

    PM me anytime you need to.

  7. Curtis,

    Hi, My mom is on taxotere right now. She is doing okay. It does give some pretty strong side effects with her. WATCH OUT FOR DEHYDRATION!!! Very important. Make sure she takes anti nausea pills if she feels bad. Thats what we encountered, just thought I'd let ya know. Your wife might handle it like a trooper!!! Praying for good results and keep us posted.

  8. Carleen-

    I am here praying right now for you to have some peace. Please be positive, and I am praying for positive results REALLY HARD right now. I know God hears us. You are a strong woman, and can do it. I know you always feel tense at the times when the tests are done, but try to think about other things until then. I will continue to pray for you and Keith.

    (((((Carleen))))) (((((Keith)))))

    Hugs for you and Keith

    I personally would do whatever I could to fix my mom. And the metabolic diet, its good. It can help with energy and chemo side affects. I hope this helps. I haven't heard of the other thing you were talking about, but just do whatever you can, research and hunt for ANYTHING!!!

    GOOD LUCK-we are all SURVIVORS!!!!!!!
