He will have 3weeks on and 1 week off 1 time per week of the following Paxol/Carboplatin/Avastin. His cancer has spread to his lymph nodes as well as ribs and backside area so this is more of a quality of life treatment. There is no cure and without this the Dr is saying he would have roughly 4 months to live and with this treatment it could double that amount. Has anyone been treated with this combo that can give me some insight as what to expect?
Sorry I was confused on the first drug it is Taxol/Carboplatin/Avastin
