Thank you for responding to my previous post on weekly taxol.
If say my Mom does not respond to weekly taxol and there are no clinical trial to enter what would be, in your opinion, a next course of action?
She previously had topotecan, avastin, gemzar, doxil. Only drugs she has not had is cisplatin and the new drug Alimta. I know our options are limited so I would like to know ahead of time on what we should do.
thank you
Fiana
