Thanks for sharing the info & such a bright ray of hope for all of us. I've been following the development of Abraxane since my dx in May '02 & am so thankful that it is within reach.
Ironically, I'm wrestling w/a single liver met that's popped up after a year of NED. So far back to Taxol for me-I'm very fortunate that I'm still very sensitive to this combo, but I can't wait til Abraxane is approved & part of standard of care.
Currently Abraxane is on "fast track" for FDA approval & is available for "compassionate use" for those who are heavily pre-treated and looking for another option.There's a very specific protocol to follow when applying for compassionate use of a drug pending approval, but certainly worth it for a drug with as much potential as this one.
Hooray, another firearm to add to our arsenal!
Prayers, Faith & Courage!
