Thanks folks. I wonder if something should have been added to the Xeloda as opposed to stopping it. It seemed to be doing well except for small progression in the stubborn lung nodule. I wonder if Navelbine was even properly tried since wbc counts ended up causing a 1 week dose to be used over 2-3 weeks. The onc agreed twice to neupogen but felt there were begatives associated with repeated use of it and insted lenthened time between doses. So..did Navelbine fail or was it the administration/management? I thought Navelbine was considered more tolerable...no hair loss etc. After seeing how mom has reacted to Taxol and Navelbine, wonder if the traditional chemos are feasible. Wonder if they are the way to go in general. Really want a paradigm shift...now.
