Hi Dave

Yes - Mike was on Topotecan for three series. It was administered for five days - every fourth week.

It was the line of chemo used when we got the "clear cat scan" on the liver in July of 2002.

It's a good one....not too terribly hard with side effects...at least it was better than the Cisplatin (that stuff was HARD on Mike).

Hugs,

Thanks for the replies. KatieB, I take Zofran for nausea, only when I need it. It works for me. I will start on Topotecan this Monday (4/14) . Infusion on day 1 and oral tablets for 3-4 days. I will pray for all. God bless.
