Hi Cathy and Connie

Thank you for replying. The 2 chemos he's recommending are Carboplatn and taxotere. I don't know if I have these spelled right.

He said the taxotere family of chemo works well with stopping the carcinoma/sarcoma cancers. Is anyone else on the site on these drugs? I'd be interested in how they tolerated them.

He also said instead of 6 rounds every three weeks that the other Doctor wanted to give me. These drugs would be given only 4 rounds ever 3 weeks with maybe 1 external radiation.

The 3 chemo drugs the other doctor wanted to give me were, Doxorubicin, cisplatin, and cyclophaosphamide/cytoxin. Plus 2 or 3 internal radiation sandwich between the chemo rounds of 6.

I had taxol/ Carboplatin initially For UPSC Stage 3-C.  I had 6 roounds using the sandwich treatment.  18 months later I had a recurrence and had 3 more taxol/carbo.  I had a severe reaction to the carbo,so I was switched to taxol/ cisplatin.  I had 4 more doses.  7 months later I had another recurrence and had 6 more taxol/ cis platinum.  The treatments were every 3 weeks.

Right now I am on Aromasin to slow the cancer.  It has been since 5/12.  When I have to go back on chemo again it will  be taxol/cis platinum again.

The taxol will make you lose your hair.  They have good drugs to help with the nausea.  Good luck with your decision.  I hope your treatment is sucessful.  I hope it does not make your MS or MG worse.  In peace and caring.

welcome to the Group

I think that if it is at all possible, find a cancer center who has doctor's who work with sarcoma cancers all the time.  Cancer Treatment Centers of America is a possibility.  Mayo Hospital in Rochester, MN might be able to help.  Your story irritates me at the number of medical personnel that have lost their reason for being doctors.

I wish you well.  Keep us posted.  We are here for you Annabella Rose.
