My mother who has stage 3 non small cell lung ca is on this combination for chemo Day 1 and Day 8. I have looked up the chemo drugs and side effects and statistics. I am actually looking for people that are using this combination and how it has been on their bodies. My mother did her first treatment Day 1 and Day 8. She was suppose to do it again but they are giving her 2 weeks off and then again. Her blood work was fine per oncologist but I know she really had a first rough week. I am concerned that they are not continuing with the original chemo schedule. My mom is in Germany and I am here so I look for answers on this site due to the fact that I am not there. Any information would be great.
