fillise Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Mom saw her oncologist and her cancer is "waking up." She will begin her second course of chemo again on Tuesday. She's pretty bummed, mostly about having to take the Neulata shots again--and losing her hair. She knew this was coming, but we were hoping to get through the holidays before starting chemo again. She will be getting Carbo/Taxol again. I'm not sure why she is doing the same as she did before except it's been so long and she had such a good response that he wants to see if this will work again before moving to a different set of drugs.

MsC1210 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Susan So sorry to hear about the return to chemo. I am sorry it couldn't wait until after the holidays for you all. Please know you and Mom are in my thoughts and prayers... Christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patti B Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Susan - I am so sorry that you and your mom have to go through this again. You both will remain in my thoughts and prayers. I have heard of several people who have "gone Back" to a chemo they took before. As a matter of fact, they re-added Avastin to my Tarceva. Maybe you are right - if it has been a while, they feel it will work again. Hugs to you and mom - Patti B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesuri Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Sorry to hear the bad news. Here's best wishes from another "2nd rounder". Try to stay positive, it helps to deal with the side effects. At least a little... -Jussi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandraL Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hi Susan. Sorry to hear about your mom and the unfortunate timing. Darn cancer, can't even cooperate with timing! I wish your mom the best with the newest plan and hope she just sails through the chemo and enjoys the holidays as well. Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
