Diagnosed, Ready for Treatment

I mentioned before on this board that my husband had been diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer about a year after my one-year anniversary of being diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. . Now, with PET scans, CT scans, and a lung biopsy all behind us, and a visit to the onc. today, we are ready for treatment.We know now that he has squamous cell NSCLC.  The dr. mentioned he probably had about a year with no treatment, and a little more than that with treatment. Next Thursday, Oct. 22, they want to start chemo. The onc. wants to do a combination of Taxotere (Docetaxel) and Cisplatin (Platinol).  Has anyone out there been on this particular combo?  If so, how were the side effects, and how did it work on your cancer? My husband is very scared about how the treatment will affect him. Please share your stories with us, good or bad, so we know what to expect.Thank you so much!!Mary Ann
