That's odd. We started this journey in December of 2005 with EC and lung mets. Initial treatment was 25 radiation treatments with 6 simultaneous weeks of chemo (1 chemo cocktail infusion/week). We used cisplatin, irinotecan and docitaxel because of radiosensitivity, which means they actually enhance the radiations effects while working systemically on the cancer. At the end of this, he took a brief break (not too long or surgery is no longer an option due to tissue toughening as side effect of radiation). We rescanned and lung mets were gone, EC primary tumor shrunk and we went on to Ivor-Lewis and lung resection. I'm surprised to say the least. The chemo protocol we used was developed at Dana Farber.
