Thats great news. Certain the good news will keep on coming for you both. My 43 year old wife is also quickly approaching the one year mark for non-operatable stage IV stomach cancer. Since her diagnosis in March of last year she has been on a constant regimen. However, her original treatment of ECF lasted only 8 rounds (3 week each) and then we switched to Oxaliplatin and Xeloda. Just recently we switched off the Xeloda (she developed a blood clot) and went back to the 5FU.
So far, so good. She was placed in remission in August of 07 (4 months post diagnosis) and she remains in remission today.
Again, another success story and we are glad to hears yours. Keep it up.
?, are they recommending your partner stay on chemo post the one year mark and if so for how long. We have received one recommendation that she continue on at least the 5fu for another 3-6 months bringing the treatment total to 18 months??? Just wondering.
Thanks, and nice job!
