My brother was recently diagnosed with Stage lllB non small cell lung cancer.
He was immediately put on Taxol and Carboplatin, every three weeks. I have
now read that low dose, more frequent treatments, are preferable because
they cause fewer side effects. Is this true in the experience of anyone
on-line? Also I have not heard much in this group about anti-angiogenesis
agents being used. I've read a lot about them on the www, but finding
people with actual experience with them is difficult.
My point is that if low dose chemo, or ant-angiogenesis agents, are the new
"best way" to treat nsclc and other cancers, then why don't I see more about
them from real people with the cancers?
Help, I want the best for my big brother! Tom in Florida
