Chemo Resistant

Peony,

Adding my welcome to the site. As Marion mentioned cc is very individual. Many people have discussed that while one a chemo regime worked, it then stopped working after a period of time and their Dr. moves them to a new drug or drug combo. As well by using the search functionlity in the top right corner you will find information on some of the other treatments that have been discussed here; chemo emobolization, radiation, cyberknife just to name a few. I am sure others will chime in with good information.

Hello Peony and welcome to our site. Don’t you just wish we had met under different circumstances? I am however, glad that you have found us. The fact that your husband’s pain decreased is a welcome response hopefully, showing that the current treatment is effective.
Yes, this cancer is chemotherapy “resistant,” but, it continues to respond favorably to various treatments available. Some people have great results whereas others may not do so well. It is very individual. We try to stay realistic and optimistic and always hope for the best. You can be guaranteed that by being on this board you will have your cheerleading squad behind you.
Until others have a chance to respond to you, you might want to peruse our member established listing of physicians:
