The good news is that your father's doctor and hospital are well known in
the cancer field. That makes this a good start. Your father is on what is
termed a 3 prong therapy. Surgery and two types of chemo, no argument
there. 5FU has been around a long time; was not effective; but they
discovered it to be very effective when used with another chemo such as L.
This all sounds good friend, sounds as though your Doctor is doing a darn
good job. CP-11 is a strong chemo with some very hard side effects; but
since the cancer has not spread to other area's most likely the need to put
your father through all of that is not necessary. I am including some
really good sites for you to go to. Just use the search engine browser #
just below this message. We are keeping you both in prayers and keep hope
in your heart. Warmly, lillian
