Well I started my new treatment yesterday.  It is both taxol and coboplatin.  I had been taiking taxol and cisplatin.  From what I understand coboplatin is milder than cisplatin so I am hoping I won't feel as badly as I did.  Plus it is a lesser amount.  I will be taking it every three weeks.  I just have two more to go.  I am hoping to go back to work after the first of the year.  I have had both my ports removed.  We will not be using the stomach port any more plus I was having trouble with it.  It was leaking plus it would bleed every now and then.  The reason I had the chest port out was because at one point my left arm blew up like a balloon.  They will now administer directly into my right arm.  I hope this works out ok.  I will write more later
