Hi everyone,
I had my consultation with Duke University Medical Hospital on Tuesday. My cancer had returned while I was on Xeloda/Navelbine so they were deciding what to do next. The doctors were very nice at Duke and they are putting me on a gemzar/carboplatin combination next Wednesday. I will be put in a phase II study trial that I can do at my oncologist's office here in Virginia Beach. They said they have gotten very favorable results with this combo so I'm hopeful. Also, they said that even though I'm HER2-, if I get a good result from this combo, they will put me on a vaccine called P53. I guess that's in the trial phase. My cat scan showed a micro dot on each lung (and I've been worried and coughing ever since) and one tiny spot on the liver. I will be getting scans every six weeks once the chemo starts. They think I have active neck nodes right now, but they said the chemo should get those. What a rotten, scary disease!
Has anyone had any good results from either one of those chemos? The doctors said the side effects were minimal. I just want the chemo to work this time.
Hugs,
Shelley from Virginia Beach
