NSCLC (non small cell lung cancer)
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.support.cancer/msg/7fa5ecdc08...

Socks Sep 21 2004

:"This is from memory:

June 2001 - January 2002
Carbo and Taxol (10 treatments or so, every 3 weeks)

June 2002 - March 2003
Taxotere (every 3 weeks)

June 2003 - present
Zometa (every 3-4 weeks, still ongoing)

Jan 2004 - May 2004
Taxotere (6 treatments)

Initial treatment healed lung lesions. Never had a recurance of the
pleural effusion, much to everyone's surprise.

Lesion was discovered on my liver in December, 2003. Lesion was reduced in

size and has not resumed growing since discontinuing the 2004 treatment."

In between (treatments) he has been taking trips etc to pursue his
personal interests and enjoying quality of life.

About to start Gemzar.

He's now in pain palliation and working on various projects; future travel
plans still in the works.

Edit: I think the liver situation has changed; hence part of why he's trying
Gemzar.
