Hi,
Sam is right, generally if the cancer comes back AFTER six months of remission, then the patient willmost likely have some reponse to the former regimen that they were on. However, let it be said that some patients do very well on there "same" regimen, and others have a limited response. If your oncologist thinks hat you will still benefit from the regimen that you had before, then i wuld go back on it, but I would also make sure that after the second cycle (treatment) of chemotherapy, a CT scan is taken NO LATER! Typically if a patient is going to have any response it will have occouyred before the third cycle of chemotherapy has begun. This way, if the cancer does not respond, you will know immediatley, and you can go on another regimen or form of therapy.
Please get back to us with your decision,and I am sure tht no matter what you do you will get well!!!!
Sincerely,
Jonathan
