jcawork Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Still dont have all the results back, but it has continued to spread so Topo isnt working. What is 3rd line chemo for sclc? Does anyone know? See Onco today to discuss. Thanks, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Jen, I don't know what a third line chemo drug is either. I do hope you find answers to all your questions when you visit your doctor. I'm sure he will have an attack plan all ready for you! Hang in there gal! You keep fighting and we'll keep praying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynneH Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Hi Jen, Happy to see you posting today. I looked back at a similar question I asked of Oncodoc when he was with us and he mentioned the following chemos (I just cut and pasted and deleted the info that was specific to Jim): CAV which is an older combination of Cytoxan, Adriamycin and Vincristine. It can sometimes work when other drugs fail. Irinotecan would be a possibility but it is so similar to topotecan that I would not have much confidence in it (oncodoc's opinion). Taxol - Jim had not had cisplatin so one could consider a combination of cisplatin with either taxol or taxotere. Jen, I see from your profile that cisplatin gave you the ear problems. I don't know if Taxol can be administered alone or in combo with others? Maybe you can at least ask your onco about these and see what his opinion is. Take care, Lynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pammie Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I am not familiar with what the third line would be but do know that my family and I are keeping you in our prayers many many times daily. pammie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy RN Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Remeber I had cisplatin and CAMPTOSAR for 8 mos then switched to carboplatin and CAMPTSAR for the last month. Ask about it. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Evans Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 On my 3rd line my onc gave me the same as the 1st which was carboplatin and etoposide 16.He said that it worked well the 1st time so he thought it would work well as the 3rd line.My 2nd line waqs cpt 11 which is from the same family as topecan.I'm getting ready to start my 4th line which will be taxotere.Good Luck Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Lamb Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Jen,I have nsclc so this probably is not helpful but everytime I've had chemo it was the same stuff. I hope whatever is used works well for you this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Jen i guess my wife is on third line treatment CPT11 and Taxol along with Zometa monthly. All i can say is the last 2 checkup's have come back good but the diarreah is terrible and since going on this program we've been to the Emergency room twice for the cramp's and diarreah. This Given 2 monday's out of three and if she's lucky she may have 5 day's of feeling OK..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
