        Hi Maria,

        I am being pulled different ways by different Doctors.  One saying BioChemo will give the highest chance of a response and the other doctor saying it is too toxic an the difference between BioChemo and regular chemo, the carbo/taxol.

        I was wondering, where your disease was and was it widespread?  I have a significant amount of mets on my liver.  MY Ldh is now 1000, which I know puts me at a decreased chance of the them being effective.

        Can you tell me how you chose to do the Chemo and not biochemo?  I'm also curious the statistics on response rates that they quoted you.
