mikejr Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi - My Name is Mike Porzio, Jr. My father, Mike Porzio, Sr., is going through his second round of Chemo, this time with Radiation too. He has "recurrent non small cell?, lung cancer with a peritrachial mass" 7 months after going through Chemo and being diagnosed as being free of cancer. It has returned and the Doctors say it is "agressive". He will have "second-line chemo" with radiation 5 times a week for 6 weeks. I'm wondering if other people, survivors, have been through this and can offer some advice or words of support. Thanks in advance, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MO_Sugar Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I am sorry to hear about your father. What drugs are they using this time? I am getting a combo of Carboplatinum and Taxol this time around. Prayers for strength and healing being sent you (and your fathers) way! God Bless, MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddy Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Welcome Mike, I am sorry I can't help you much with your questions, however,I do hope the chemo works for your father this time. What a disappointment it must have been for you both. I am sure you will find someone on the board who has some input. Yrs, Paddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
