Anyone try Etoposide

Paul was on Yondoles (spelling) but it isnt working anymore. They have put him on Etoposide and ifosfamide. He just finished his 2nd round but not gonna scan him until after the 3rd round. Does anyone have any imput on this?

thanks

Here is an old study about this combo:

Keep strong!

Thanks Elodie....I am trying to stay as positive as I can. I just sucks when we seem to go 5 steps backwards. Now he is getting blood clots in his lungs. We were just in the ER last week for another one. They upped his Lovanox to 100 2x a day. Just get frustrated....

I was on that combo (etoposide and ifosfamide) I went through 2 rounds then scanned, for me it didn't work. but I did meet someone that had good results. Hopefully so will he. Best of luck Sally
