A member asked:
My friend has liver cancer. she has differnt chemos but now she is getting poorly. is they a chance of a different chemo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Mostly it depends on what pathologic type the tumor is and where it started. For several, there are protocols in which a new chemorx is used when the original one fails. See if your friend's oncologist can get her into a research study. I'm glad you are there for her.
