Question about chemo

hi, I am mike, does your mom have non-small cell lung cancer? I have small cell lung cancer and am in remission two years last february. I had cisplatnum, but gleevac is new use for lung cancer because while I was in treatment it was new and I called the manufacturer to see if I could be a trial and they were not yet using it for lung cancer. The cisplatnum is good treatment if your mom can stand it. I couldn't and second cycle I went into blood pressure dropping and was hospitalized. I was then switched to carboplatnum, taxol, and vp-16. I also had radiation treatment. I am inoperable but doing fine. Well , I hope I have helped you some and may God bless you and your Mom. Mike
