The chemo treatments that I have received are considered the "Big Guns" of chemo. This is a standard treatment for "Front-Line" chemo (first treatment). If the cancer recurs then the doctor said that he would use more targeted therapies. At this point many people hope to get into a clinical trial.
Chemo stays in your body for quite some time and many patient report lingering side effects for up to 2 years. Some side effects are permanent. I hope the neuropathy in my fingers and toes goes away soon.
Since I am claiming myself as cured, I am not worried about a recurrence. I just have to shake off that very LAST chemo treatment that I had two weeks ago.
