I know its been a while since you were posting on this site.  Any update regarding your daughter?  I am in the same situation as her and am debating doing the chemo.  If you are still willing to provide information, what chemo regime did they give her?  Any information helps

This is a fast growing cancer and once  it spreads it is difficult to contain.
Please follow the onclologist and please support your daughter by continuing the treatment.
Chemo also has lots of side effects and the clinician will only give maximum tolerable doses to the patient.
Take care!
