Has anyone added any of these chemo pills to the regiment? Xeloda, Temozolomide, Packitaxel.

My dad’s doctor for his LMD suggested to take any of these pills. Based on my reading there are good results when its taken by patients with LMD and breast cancer. Was there any study for Lung cancer? Which of these three would work better for NCSLC? Xeloda, Temozolomide, Packitaxel.

I've been on a Trail at The Christie (Manchester,UK); it’s worldwide and it’s US based, for an oral form of Paclitaxel called Oraxol (KX-ORAX-012). Over 10 months it’s reduced my cancer in my right lung by 60%. See if you’re suitable for this trial.
