Right now she is on weekly Taxol but the other drug is another one that is used for breast cancer. I know what their voices sounded like, Karen, for I remember like it was yesterday how I sounded upon hearing the horrific news. No matter how terrified I have been since the beginning of this cancer journey, my cries have never sounded like the first one upon diagnosis.

Karen, if you need any questions answered in the mean time, please ask me or use my Yahoo e-mail, I would be more than happy to call her; we talk all the time. She would be honored to help. I do not know if you remember Ed's friend named Ed, he is a walking miracle. He is also a mascot in the non-hodgkins lymphoma world diagnosed in the early 80's and more Adriamycin than everyone on this board together has had. They are married and have had their share of cancer. Either one of them can answer most of the current questions of lung cancer.

Sorry to ramble. I am here and will help with anything I can.>>Believe51
