3. The taxol treatment
The taxol treatment
Initially Koos and Adrie not know what to do. But within one month if the symptoms are so severe that almost Koos can not eat a lot of pain but once they decide to talk about that taxol treatment. And in the Daniel den Hoed an experimental group of eight terminal patients who all formed a taxol treatment. So including Koos.
The treatment is very disappointing. The side effects are so large that Koos and Adrie wonder if the drug is not worse than the disease. Hair loss is the least of which Koos is worried about, he will continue to go through life barren, but the small bleeding inside and accumulating fluid in his legs make him more concern. A few years later (1998), the blood vessels so affected that his leg Koos lost due to the weak and clogged blood vessels affected. And over the years will Koos frequent small internal bleeding and he suffered from fluid retention, especially in his legs.
