 | Chemotherapy Information |

I need to find information on chemotherapy. If there is a very good website
perhaps one of you folks could provide me with a web address. I need to know
about treatment protocols. How are the drugs administered? For example, if
one is on a treatment of cycophospamide, 5-FU, and Methotrexate, are these
drugs all administered at once? Is that called a "cocktail"? Is there an
advantage between a 21 day administeration of chemo versus a 28 day protocol?
I have many more questions, but you get the idea. I would love some fairly in
depth info.

-I have an uncle that was diagnosed with Merkle cancer in the fall - it is a
rare, aggressive form of skin cancer. He has been undergoing radiation and chemo, and has tried a few different
chemo treatments - not because they weren't working, but just on the doctors
recommendation. He is currently very ill from chemo and I am looking for
information as to how normal this is. I am hoping that there is a light at
the end of the tunnel when the chemo is over. -The whole premise of this piece is that cancer can be easily cured and in
many ways. Yet no alternative clinic or practitioner of any of the
mentioned methods has produced even a handful of patients with established
cancer that were cured by their methods alone. Their breast cancer
patients will at least have had minimal surgery, such as lumpectomy, which
will by itself be curative of many early beast cancers. On the rare occasions when "alternative" clinics allow their results to be
independently and impartially examined, it is difficult to find any
evidence of clear benefit. See several examples at
