    Thank you all for the wonderful support. We saw Dr. Pawlik and Dr. Cosgrove at JH. Both were great. Today we met with a new oncologist in which mom will start the standard “best chemo mix” – Cisplatin and Gemo on a 21 day cycle and then reassess after 3 cycles. She will get her first treatment this week. They said that this mix gave a prognosis of 11 months (average), but this site seemed to offer more promise. We will see. Thank you all again!

    Dr. Pawlik is a great doctor and he is upfront with what he can and can’t do. We saw him a couple of weeks ago for my mother who has CC. Unfortunately, for her – her CC is inoperable. One of the oncologist nurses there recommended Muscle Milk as it has a lot of protein which help retain fluid in the muscles. Hope that helps. Sorry you found this site but it has so much great information. Blessings.
