Hi,
My 70 year old mother was recently diagnosed with stage 3b NSLC with two primary's. She has just received her first chemo cisplatin and taxotere (21 day intervals) and had been doing well until day 4 after treatment. Pain, constipation, shakes, nausea, fatigue and loss of appetite have hit her hard and kept her virtually bed-ridden (not her norm at all). Can anyone give me any information on the success rate of this treatment (dr is a bit vague)? I need to know if this is the best option for her.
