treatment options

[ehr]

my wife age 50 had a pleural effusion in december which turned out to be adencarcinoma (adenocarcinoma), intially diagnosed as non small cell lung cancer. no primary tumor could be found. the biopsy taken indicated a possible pleura primary but alot of markers kept indicating gyno trac suspicious. my wife went thru 6 cycles of taxol & carboplatin 5 hours every third week. afterwards a cat scan and blood tests revealed a complete response. i was not satisfied with the lung oncologist stating that no further treatment has been shown to be effective in lung cancer since the primary was still unknown. we went to see a top gyno oncologist who read all the reports, looked at my wife- saw how well she looked and immediately said this could very well be ovarian. a complete hysterectomy was done revealing microscopic residual cancer cells contained in the ovaries and in analzing the pelvic fluid a trace of abnormal cells that the report said could be adenocarcinoma. none of this was evident from the cat scan. his suggestion now is to follow up with 12 - 24 weekly small doses i believe 75 mg of only taxol. the gyno oncologist feels very good about my wife's prognosis now. compared to a lung primary i suppose this is like lightning in a bottle. i would like to know if these 12 -24 smaller weekly doses of taxol is the best approach (my wife is pretty upset about this) he also told us that with the smaller dose she should not exerience any side effects- the nautia and headaches etc like the huge initial infusions, is that true and is the doctor being overly optomistic about her progonsis being very good
