Hope Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 My mom had follow-up ct after 3 rounds of cisplatinum for recurrant sclc. Some of the tumors have shrunk, and she began another round of cisplatinum and another drug (I think it's cpt-ll) on day one, day 8 is just the other drug, then two weeks off, then start another round again. Except for having horrible headaches on the first day of tx, she feels pretty good. The diareha gets pretty bad, and did make her weak, but overall she has been doing what she normally does! After two more rounds of the above regimen, she will have another ct. Many continued prayers for all of those affected by this disease. Hope Mom dx with sclc limited stage 0l-02 5 months chemo (carboplatin & etoposide), radiation, no pci Recurrance 06-03 found with follow up c/t, chemo (carboplatin & etoposide) began then stopped due to severe reaction 07-03 pet scan concurred ca in sternum 09-03 ct showed ca spread 09-03 Three 28-day cycles of cisplatinum & cpt-ll 12-03 some tumors responding, began 2 more 28 day cycles cisplatinum & cpt-ll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
