Hi - The choice of chemo will be based on what your oncologist believes will do you the most good. We're not oncologists here, and wouldn't hazard a guess as to which drug "cocktail" that might be. While you're waiting to find out, you might find our Guide to Understanding Your Pathology Report interesting. Also, please read our series on chemotherapy; I think you'll find that helpful, as well. Best of luck to you - PJH
