Hey Lila,
I am so thrilled to hear your Dad is having the same great luck with his meds that we have had. I can't find your post, have you not posted it yet?
Yes, the weight loss and reduced appetite have led her to believe the stomach is not expanding as it once was (Although today his appetite is great). In addition to that, we were up against the limit of 18 treatments of Epirubicin, only had 2 more to go. She wants to try to stay ahead of any significant weight loss by changing the regimen now as opposed to after the fact.
We were THRILLED with the results we had on Oxalyplatin, Epirubicin, and Xeloda. God willing, we will have just as good results with the second line chemotherapy.
Look forward to hearing all about your Dad and his progress, will keep looking for your post. God Bless you for sharing.
Peace and Love to you and your family, Scott
