Hello, How long ago were you diagnosed? What type of chemo are you on, and how do you feel on it? I am 48, and finished my chemo in June. I guess I just want to hear that there are survivors out there!!!

Just found your message, sorry!!
I was diagnosed sept. 2006 and have had 2 operations and I am 36 with 3 boys. I have been on chemo since last march. Still trying to find something that works. But you have to count for the size of your tumor that you had. Mine was 7 cm. Surgery is your best option for a cure.
I first tried cisplatin and gemcitbine for 3 cycles CT scan showed cancer was growing. Second drugs were taxol and carboplatin with 3 cycles just got CT scans back on Jan. 10 and cancer has grown some more. They just offered me a phase one clinical trial and the drugs that I get are capecitabine and AZD2171 in a pill which is great!!!
how are you doing now? let me know
