    I don’t know about tolerating chemo for years. I’ve only been in chemo since November, but it’s my understanding that tumors can build resistance and the effects of chemo build, so there are limits to what someone’s body can tolerate.

    Good news that he is tolerating chemo well.

    My dad had a ct scan. They said it looked stable however they are replacing the stent every 3 months.

    They are changing his chemo to 2 weeks on one week off to chemo every other week. I guess because his veins are getting harder to find. He is about 7 months out from his diagnosis and is tolerating chemo well.

    My question is…do some just stay stable on chemo for years?
