Update from my last Dr. Visit

I saw my oncologist the beginning of this week. We talked about Ifosimide and DTIC and why I had such a harsh reaction. We also talked about potential chemotherapy drugs, Gemzar and Taxotere. I'm still trying to decide whether I want to jump into chemo right now, or give my body more time to heal. The most troubling news out of the appointment was that my oncologist does not believe I would be healthy enough to get off a respirator if I had lung surgery. So, this doesn't rule anything out, it just means that I might need to give my body time off without pushing it like I have been with surgeries, chemos, and radiation.
