Hi Irene,
I saw my oncologist who is treating me for this trial. I told him about you and he said that you would not be limited by the treatment you have had to qualify for the trial I am on. I am on a weekly phase 1 trial of this drug that is testing a higher dose. The trial that Lily is on is given every three weeks, is phase two, and has different criteria. It is an offshoot of the the previous stage 1 trial. I would suggest investigating this drug. All of the patients at Dana Farber are doing well on it. My oncologist presented at San Antonio.
I am doing well. My scans look great and my bone scan indicated that the bones are healing. Both of my tumor markers are now normal. CEA is now 1.7.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.
