Susan,,,, Hi, my husband is on Taxol and carboplatin, given by IV's one
treatment every 3 weeks, and each treatment takes 5 hours from start to finish,
so far he hasn't had any bad side effects, only tired and his arms and legs ache
some, and he has lost most of his hair so we feel real lucky, as far as the other
two i only know what i have read and there seems to be some good results, so my
thoughts and prayers are with you and your dad ......take care Lee
