We are terribly worried about brain mets. His last MRI of the brain was Oct.
25. He is also tired all the time. All in all, he was much better on the
taxol/carbo, the only side effect being neuropathy--of course, > that didn't
really work. Any advice or experiences would be appreciated. Happy holiday

Bess, odd -- my father had ALL those side-effects - and more - with the taxol
and carboplatin! He remained on it anyway, however and it proved to do a
very good shop shrinking the tumor, but that was after 6 months of treatment.
His bone pain was in his back however, not collarbone. We too, suspected
brain cancer and were terrified - his mood swings and vision problems were
worrisome to us. But the brain tissue was and remains clean, thank God.
