<< Hey all,
    I finally got a little more info on my dad's treatment plan (what
 there is of it). The doctors want to try some experimental drugs in a
 new study. Have you ever heard of any of these: Taxol, Carboplatin,
 Navelbine,and Gemcitabine(Gemzar).
    They also want to start a central line cathater, is that normal?
 Said the chemo is hard on the veins and this is the reason for it.
    Said things  really didn't look to good. Only a 20-25% response rate
 to these drugs.
    Hope someone has some answers.
    Thanks Everyone,
      Susan >>
