Re: Maintenance Chemo Questions

Hey Tater, Sorry for the delay in response. I have not been reading these posts as much recently. My wife has been on maintenance chemo a couple of times during her journey.

Re: Scary times . . .

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04275414 A clinical trial of Avastin is currently being used for off label Coronavirus treatments. For once, cancer patients using Avastin may be the reason why some patients are doing well, considering the circumstances of this current pandemic. I hope all are...

Re: Hope vs reality

At the time of my wife's diagnosis, she was given a 12% chance of survival... Many with her condition passed within 6 months to a year. At that point I began to advocate the 50% rule to put statistics in her favor. The treatments will either prolong life or they won't (50/50); and the next surgery w...

Re: SBRT Side Effects?

Hey James, My wife recently had SBRT on two para-aortic nodes and complained about similar pain in the treatment area and being tired. Remember, it is a treatment and it does cause the fight inside of your cells within your body. Inflammation at the site of the SBRT is normal, which is why they post...

Re: Para-aortic node recurrence

I agree with AT's position on this too... Proper scanning schedule, including PET scans are important on being successful in fighting off active PALN issues. About a year ago my wife had PALN recurrence, but going back on her initial treatment plan, as well as some SBRT radiation, it appears to be d...
