Thanks for all the advices. I think my oncologist's idea was that TDM1 was very effective even for people who used multiple prior chemos and it is a better drug to keep when the body is exposed to all the chemos.
But somehow to think that far is really painfull.
Joan, I can't get the nodes removed because there are multiple mediastinal nodes. The doctors didn't suggest surgery or cyberknife(It is very difficult to convince them)
