I just started a cycle two of my clinical trial that involves Doxil and an experimental immunotherapy drug called VTX2337. Doxil is given once every four weeks.

Mother's CT Scan revealed cancer...any pre-treatment suggestions?
My mother has a family history of cancer of the female parts on both her mother's and father's side. Her CT Scan reveals cancer in her uterus, cervix, lungs, liver and blood vessels, but they haven't done a biopsy to pinpoint exactly what kind of cancer it is, though I have a feeling it will be uterine. She will see an…

Some thoughts on our purpose

Neuropathy
I finished taxol #6 on time; had somewhat of a reaction but my daughter flew home and cooked three meals a day and poured fluids into me.
