Sal--- My Dad, 81, has adenocarcinoma, more specifically broncholoalveolar
cancer of the lungs. Very rare. He has been on chemo since late Feb 2000 and
as long as he take the lower dosage weekly rather than the higher dose
every 3 wks (which he is currently but is switching back to weekly at the
end of the month) he does fine with no side effects. He is on Taxol (90mg
weekly) with Carboplatin given only on the 2nd of 3 weekly treatments; then
4th week off. Love & Prayers Pat Kimmi-KS
