Wink Re: VickieH - trailblazing Pazopanib

I am so sorry to read your news. Please hang in there and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Speaking of putting one foot in front of the other I thought I might share some information with you that might be helpful.
First of all the University of Washington Tumor Vaccine Group is or was conducting a clinical trial using Imiquimod, an immune response modifier (Aldera) which is normally used for skin cancer with Abraxane for breast cancer skin mets.
The second thing I would like to share is that you might want to consider talking to a good dermatologist for the skin mets. I had tiny skin mets many years ago. I decided that since they were visable I would go talk to my dermatologist about removing them. My dermatologist removed the skin mets with local anethesia while I continued on drug therapy. Attacking the tiny skin mets from two angles was the right thing for me.
